ok who took the Spring - Bunny Zoe's Crafts monthly challenge DT + Saturday Challenge + Simon says Stamp challenge

Good morning everyone...ok who took the Spring, whoever has it bring it back please it is freezing here, windy, raining and generally winter has returned with a vengeance...now if I could figure out how to upload from Phil's mobile I would show you the snow and fog pictures from Saturday, shockingly bad, I thought we had gone back a few months...oh well I guess when the Spring peeps her head out she will be more welcome than ever, just hurry on please...did you all have a fantastic weekend, it was so bad here yesterday we went out and stayed out for all of 30 mins before retreating back into the warm, that will teach us not to put the thermals on lol...my card for today is for our new challenge over at Bunny Zoe's Crafts monthly challenge, which this month is Birthday with lots of pearls, now how thick am I it wasn't until I uploaded this card I realised I had forgotten to put the Happy Birthday sentiment on...duh...so just imagine its there and I will retake it later when I have time...the fab little girl is from Stampavie and is called Flower Girl isn't she cute, I coloured her with Distress inks and paper pieced her outfit in the same papers as the background these are from a new paper pad I bought...its Kaisercraft Seaside 6x6 paper pad this is a stunning pad and I know I will use it all Summer long, the pearls and Pearl brad flower centres are all from Bunny Zoe's Crafts too...I'm entering this for the Saturday Flowers for Mum Challenge and the Simon Says Stamp anything goes challenge too...I did loads and loads of challenge commenting last night and today I'm going to do my very best to catch up with my own blog hopping, cant wait to see what you have all been up too...have a fantastic day everyone and wherever you are I hope you don't need your thermals

    Lovely image and colouring Mina - love the way you've used the pearls too!
    It's frosty here in Yorkshire this morning - but the sun is shining so all is good! Yesterday started off rainy, but by the afternoon it was like summer! We walked along the Ouse in York with no coats!

    Hi Mina,
    I love the striped design paper. Gorgeous image and colours. The flowers are beautifully done. I am loving this card.
    Spring is not hiding here so I don't have a clue where she is but Winter doesn't seem to want to leave.
    Hugs,

    We may have some of your Spring here (Im in Arizona, and we have been close to 90 the last week and a half... I want to enjoy my 70's as looooooooong as possible because once those 100+ temps hit its miserable)... If I could send it back, BELIEVE me, I would :)

    Love the color combo and the flowers look great!! Especially love the multi-colored pearls sprinkled around!

    Thanks for joining us at Secret Crafter, hope to see you again soon!
