It's supposed to be spring, but some are having snow (again), and we've gotten up into the mid to upper 80's already. I think we went straight to summer here. For the In A Sweet Pea Dream challenge this round they want us to do a springtime card, and the Sweet Pea Stampers challenge is to use punches. I chose the Fall Masquerade Fairy by Caron Vinson, available from Sweet Pea Stamps, and colored her with teal and peach, which are the colors for Joan's card challenge this week. Joan also wanted us to add a butterfly and use something frilly. I have several tiny butterflies scattered on here, and my frilly is the gorgeous lace behind the image. This was left over from a dress I made my daughter 15+ years ago. I think I've about used it all now. The flowers were made with Nellie Snellen punches, spritzed with some glimmer spray I made, and German glass glitter was added to the centers.

I have quite a collection of the gorgeous Sweet Pea Stamps. I've had this image colored for a while and went ahead and used her on this card. This image is "Serene Night", colored with Prismacolor pencils and baby oil. The gold paper I got at Hobby Lobby but it doesn't have a company name on it. It is gorgeous, almost like gold canvas.
