Outlawz Sketch Challenge March 9

We've had some unseasonably warm weather in Iowa. Two days in a row in the lower 70's. I have some tulips that have poked through the ground. Of course, the bunnies will eat them before they ever show a bloom! But it sure feels good to be in March and have spring just around the corner. One of the first signs of spring besides the tulips and crocus are the little tiny purple violets that show up in the grass here and there.  I coincidentally used Violet Sprite from Aurora Wings as my focal image on this week's Outlawz Sketch challenge card.

Aurora Wings is our sponsor this month



 and here is the sketch for this week and right below it is my card using Violet Sprite!


I colored with Copic markers and used items from my stash to complete the card. 
Please stop by the Outlawz Sketch Challenge for more inspiration from my awesome teammates!!


I'm entering my card  in the Aurora Wings Challenge - Favorite season (Spring)

Thanks for stopping by!!

March Progressive Challenge at the Outlawz

Welcome to March!! Spring will be here! St. Patrick's Day, Easter, March Madness!! It's been a long winter and I'm ready for spring!! And a brand new Progressive challenge at the Outlawz.

This month we have the most adorable image from such an amazing sponsor, Gerda Steiner Designs.  She is giving everyone that plays this cute little Bunny with Glasses. Thank you so much, Gerda!! It is generous artists like Gerda that help keep our challenge going!!




I decided to make a St. Patrick's Day card with my bunny image. I colored with Copic markers and used some shamrock paper I found in my stash. A ribbon and a few sequins and my very clean and simple card was done!
