springtime




It's Springtime ... and even though there was a layer of snow on the ground this morning ... it still feels like Spring to me!  There are buds on the forsythia bush, the tulips and  lilies are starting to come up and the birds are singing!

Last evening when I went for a walk to the old apple orchard in the back, the wind was blowing and the branches and the old leaves were rustling ... to my delight I spotted a beautiful red fox ... she spotted me too ... she looked behind and was unsure if she should proceed, then returned to the hill behind her. I know what's on that hill   :)   ...  the foxes den  ...  I know that because we have seen families of fox there in the past.  They are a sight to behold.  I have many photos of them but no longer have them on my camera so I'm not able to upload them to show you. I am hoping that we see a family of fox this year. The little ones are adorable ... they all have their own personality.

This Spring card was made with HERO ARTS stamps Misty Garden Pattern and Antique Background, the image of the birds and nest is from The Grapics Fairy.

Thank you for your visit. Have a safe and enjoyable day!

  1. This is such a lovely card! I have some images from the Graphic's Fairy, but haven't quite figured how to use them. I think your idea of a soft, stamped background is a good one. Thanks for the inspiration!
