Hi everybody! Hope you are enjoying your weekend. It has been quite cold here, but the sun shone all day, starting again with a wonderful sunrise.It was just the right weather for walking along the stream and through the fields, enjoying the fresh, intensive greens and the budding flowers.
Here I was standing under the bridge, and loved the contrast between the shadow and the bright light on the other side.
There were lots of forget-me-nots pushing their way through the grass.
And this little chap was sunbathing on the path. I think it might be a peacock butterfly, but if anyone knows, please tell me!
And the couple on my card are dancing their way into the spring. I made a blind card, but used some silver material for the little blind instead of paper, and it can be pulled up and down with the ribbons. I used an aperture card, which I stamped with a stone pattern (Kaisercraft) using Archival black. The couple (CI) have been stamped using the same ink onto a separate piece of card, and fixed behind the aperture.
I am linking to Rhedd and Rosie's challenge blog (monochrome) and
Try it on Tuesday (spring/something that moves)
Have a good Sunday, take care, and thanks a lot for coming by!
