I was quite a slacker last week when it comes to posting.  Sorry about that!  I was madly finishing cards for a Thank You card swap with Stampin’ Addicts.  I’ll post that a little later so that I don’t release too much of a spoiler.  In my last post I was ready to head out to the garden and that is what I did.  My peas and sugar snap peas are planted, along with spinach and some early flowers.  Can’t tell you how happy I am about that!  Now I am prowling about the garden looking for little green sprouts (that aren’t weeds…ugh!).  Such fun!  My boys helped me plant some Italian parsley and basil inside so, of course, they are on sprout patrol too.  I love this time of year!

My garden lilies are starting to show signs of life and they were part of the inspiration for this card.  I used the Pals Paper Arts sketch challenge for the week and turned it.  I also wanted to do another Easter card for the Our Creative Corner challenge to create an Easter/spring card.  I have been really using this Lovely Flowers (hostess) paper a lot lately.  The Rich Razzleberry really is a great Easter purple!!  This uses the Fifth Avenue Floral set which will be 20% off in April as part of the Two-Step into Spring promotion.

I watercolored these lilies with Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo and Crushed Curry on the watercolor paper.  Don’t forget that you can see the picture larger by clicking on it.  Thanks so much for dropping by!!
