The Outlawz - Twisted Thursday: Signs of Spring

TT032113a

Welcome!  

This is my card I created for our DT Challenge at The Outlawz: Twisted Thursday.   

Our theme this week is "Signs of Spring".  I know a lot of you have not seen much spring so far this year but maybe it is a welcome relief and if we believe hard enough… it will be right around the corner! 

        
Our exclusive sponsor for the Twisted Thursday  Challenge is  Anne's Digital Art! 
Some lucky winner will select 3 images of their choice from Anne's Digital Art. .  Check out her link and see some of her gorgeous digital designs!   

  
I have been taking an on-line class in colored pencils and this is one of my first projects.   Unfortunately, by the time the class was over….  I was ready to post my first card… I guess I misser her crititque.  LOL  Oh well.   Maybe next time I will be better organized!

Tip for the Day: 
Wax paper in-between the card stock and die help the small pieced to 
easily separate and also prevents them from getting stuck in your die.

  3. Well it's a good thing I have strawberries in the house, because after seeing these on your card looking so lifelike,I'm craving some. You did a wonderful job coloring these. And thank you for the tip with the waxed paper. Enjoy your week.
