Spring Time.

Here is the tag I have made for the March swap on The Altered Paper. The theme is Spring/St. Patricks. As everything I have used is bits of this and bits of that, I am also entering it into Di's
The green and yellow lace have both been in my stash since I last made the costumes for the dancing school I once co-owned (over 3 decades ago). The ribbon by comparison is a newbie at only just a yr old but still an off cut none the less. Flowers were made using a 1" 6 petal punch and an off cut of sktech pad paper. Painted using Luminarte paint pots in shades of yellow/orange/pink.
I'm loving using these pots and they are fast becoming my fav product for the year.
Note to Sherry. Look I have even left the threads hanging!
And of course the back where the wally shrink plastic heart button is hiding.
Entering into the following challenges.
My mums Craft Shop: Spring is Springing.
Ginger loft: Spring.
Polly Craft challenge: Spring has sprung.

Beautiful Mrs A - love the colours and super use of snippets - what though, some over 30 years old, sheesh! That is some hoarding habit :)

Laughed out loud at your comment, hope the cold goes soon - no doubt you'll be up to more mischief once it's gone.

Hugs, Di xx

Di again - I forgot to say how gorgeous the flowers are, for a pogo stick fiend you do have a delicate touch! Love them! Di xx

Very pretty tag. So pleased you've recovered from the Pogo Stick incident. I think a nice quiet sit down on the bench is in order this week don't you?

I'd ask you to be my partner on the seesaw . . . but have visions of you going up in the air and flying over my head when I plonk back down to the ground! LOL! xxx

Such a pretty tag, great use of stash, bring on the Spring!
Mrs A., what can I say,
your hanky I found, it was on the ground,
all covered in ants, hope there's none in your pants,
took it home and now it's been, all washed and ironed now it's fresh and clean - hee hee. Take care, Lyn x
