Spring Fever Card - Aurora Wings Blog Hop

I would describe my design style as "sweet and simple". I use pencils and inexpensive markers to color my digital stamps. I love design paper and use every single scrap of a sheet. I like to play with color, patterns and designs. My favorite embellishments are buttons, pearls, gems and glitter. 

I used LittleTutu Bunny for this card. She is colored with pencils and markers. The card is layered and embellished with ink, tulle, loose glitter and a button. The sentiment is a freebie from Pixel Scrapper.

Thanks for stopping in to say "hi". Please hop on over to Marion's Blog to see her wonderful Aurora Wings creation.
