Well, I don’t know what the weather is like where you live, but here in Southern Indiana, it’s cold today! When I woke up this morning, it was 12̊ degrees and now at close to 3:00 p.m., it still only 18 degrees. Some of you I know have snow – but here, just a light dusting. Now I wouldn’t mind it being this cold if we actually got some snow to go with it! We haven’t had snow in maybe 3 or 4 years now, at least any type of accumulation. By golly, it’s winter – cold weather (which I detest) calls for snow. Why do I detest cold weather? Well first off, I have short hair and my ears get cold. Secondly, you have to actually wear clothes – layers of clothes, and shoes – I don’t like wearing shoes! To top it all off, wearing all the extra layers makes for more laundry, which I never seem to be able to keep on top of either. So my post today – it’s all about Spring!

The Splitcoast Sketch Challenge today is a fun one! Lots of layers which I am trying to make myself design with again!

The image is colored with Copic Markers and there’s just a touch of Spica Glitter pens on the bows. The edges of all the background paper were sponged with distress ink and the squiggles and faux stitches were made with a black gel pen. The sentiment panel was made by layering different size circle punches.
