It warmed up yesterday afternoon, and we were out for a walk, but there aren't really any spring flowers to be seen. A few snowdrops peeking up, a few crocus, and not much else. I'd be more encouraged if there wasn't snow in the weekend forecast. Maybe they'll be wrong for a change!
Last week I went to a local garden store to pick up some new pots for my African violets. They had a special display of primroses for $3.50 apiece so I brought three home. One for the kitchen:
One for the coffee table in the living room:
And one for my desk:
I'm joining Mary-Lou today for Take Three Thursday with three things you've noticed this week. Actually, these are three things I've truly enjoyed this week. Almost all my time at home is spent in one of these three rooms, and they've brought some joy and a touch of spring into my week.
Speaking of spring flowers, that's the challenge for Work it Wednesday at Simon Says for the next several weeks. The Simon Says weekly Wednesday Challenge is "Anything Goes," so this springy card will work for both challenges.
Of all the images I watercolored while I was away, this is the most colorful. Here's to Spring! The image is another Papertrey Ink "Bold Blossoms" for watercoloring.
Like the others I've posted, I used Altenew's 36 Pan Watercolor set. This time I added some details with my Polychromos pencils and a white Signo pen when I got home. Before mounting it on a card, I used the W+9 "Gift Card Layers Die" to create a stitched edge.
The sentiment was stamped and die cut with Papertrey Ink's "Penned Elegance" set.
