" Spring "

Hello Everyone.  At the moment it is still beautifully sunny here in Scotland. My tag to-day is all about what Spring means and was created for Snazzy's DT blog, where the Theme is Spring.. I used an embossiong folder on the tag itself and then distressed it a bit using scattered straw and tumbled glass to give a lovely bright look. The flowers were made by a punch and again I used inks to get the colour I wanted. The swirls and frond are both Marianne dies and the verse was a stamp from Inkylicious.  I added a butterfly and a ladybird as both remind me of Spring with Summer on its way ( hopefully )  In fact ,I have seen more Bees and Butterflies around even though its still fairly chilly on some days. Have a nice day.  Hugs Rita xxx.


 Thank-You for visting my blog and I will to return the compliment.
