Happy Spring Robin

Hello and Happy Thursday!  Spring is around the corner (Daylight Savings time this weekend) and I'm ready for that extra of hour of Daylight in the evenings.  My share today features a Cheerful Robin Red Breast; a sign of Spring, and he is singing his Welcome Spring Song. 

The card measures 5" square, features masking, ink blending, alcohol marker coloring and the Beautiful Birds Stamp set with coordinating dies from Gina K. Designs.  This style of card is different for me as I tend to make A2 sized cards with lots of layers and patterned paper.  It's fun to step outside your box once in a while - I like how this card turned out...I see more of this style in my future.

Don't forget to "Spring Ahead" 1 hour this weekend....Spring is Coming!  Until Next Time, Happy Crafting!
