Spring is nearly springing - I can't wait !

I went on a bit of a spending spree last week with my birthday money and while I am still waiting for some crafting goodies to arrive I did receive a super fast delivery from My mums craft shop and just couldn't resist getting stuck straight in !

I had pinned this gorgeous sketch from CLP to my desktop and knew these papers from MME and the pretty lace would be perfect !

The gorgeous stamp is from Lili of the valley - a birthday gift from my Mum & Dad - I do so love bunnies - I dragged one everywhere when I was little (don't tell anyone but I still have him now although he tends to stay at home - he's in retirement !)

I used my new limited edition spring colour pro-markers from Joanna Sheen to colour the image and added spica glitter pens and triplus fine liners to add highlights although I don't think they show in the picture. And used chalk and die cut clouds to create the soft sky.

I distressed all the papers first with my distressing tool then distressed with a pink paint dabber then I used my finger to drag glossy accents around the edges and added glitter so they would look distressed but still pretty not grungy !

The pennants were die cut (from the DP scraps) with another new addition - these are going to get lots and lots of use aren't they cute ?

I also added a "baby" sentiment and a chiffon ribbon bow with a little flower and super sweet tiny button.

I had such fun making this and walked up to get Issac from school absolutely covered in glitter !! And although there are quite alot of elements they came together quickly and that is due to the fabulous sketch - So thanks CLP :)
