All dressed up - and loving spring time

Hello everyone

Firstly welcome to the new followers.  It makes it all worth while when you realise people are actually appreciating the work you do, so thank you, from the bottom of my heart, to you all that take the time to read and comment!

It is once again time for another challenge over at All dressed up, with the chance to win some images of your choice, and of course, the prestigious badge.

My inspiration for you this time is this lovely little lady called 'love spring time'.  I wanted something that lifted my mood, and as here in the UK the first signs of spring have started to appear, what better way than with her.  Isn't she just gorgeous.  You can find her, and Wendy's other fantastic images here

The backing papers are from a first edition pad.  The image was coloured with promarkers (what else!) and distressed a little with Victorian velvet distress ink.  The die cut background is a Marianne die I just adore.  All finished with flowers that are a combination of die cut and brought.  The big flower was die cut from a tattered flowers Tim Holtz die, and coloured using distress inks on a mat, wet with a spray bottle and then I dabbed the paper into the blobs, making the mottled/spotty effect. a bit of glitter and a couple of gems later and taa daa!

I'd like to enter this into:
