even though there is still snow on the ground, the longer days make me think that spring is almost here so i went with some bright colours i don’t normally use. since the penny black saturday challenge is to use more than one fold, this was the perfect opportunity to try a stair step card. the image is watercoloured and i added stickles wherever i could. thanks for popping by.
i’m also submitting this card to the following challenges:
penny black at allsorts – welcome spring
ellephantastic challenges and roger too – cute with a butterfly
cute card thursday – signs of spring!

This is lovely bright card. I rarely use orange but am always cheered by it when I do or if someone else does! Love it love it love it!
Lovely stair step card Linda. I love the orange. I am always so afraid to use that color but I love when others do as it’s so bright and cheery. And of course I love your perfectly colored little girl. She brought a smile to my face because our weather hasn’t been the great either!
Totally adorable and GREAT colours. V spring-like.
Hugs, Sandra
How sweet!! What a darling card!!
This is a killer card, sweet girl! I really need to get over there myself to PB. The images you use are as precious as can be. Your coloring is perfection beyond comparison. Ooooh, do I ever love this one, my friend. BTW, I dont think I mentioned it doesnt matter what weight the Fabriano paper is; it all works. Hugs Anne
