Does it feel like Spring yet for all of you in the northern hemisphere?
We had about 2 weeks of Spring here in early March where everything bloomed ahead of schedule. (I wrote this post in mid-March). Even our May-June caladiums have been popping up since the first week of March! Especially the "Little Miss Muffets" have been popping up prolifically. Yikes! Still, it's a welcome site compared to frosted ice and too much snow...
That Spring Feeling is what I wish for you this week:

Challenge #95's theme is THAT SPRING FEELING - for the next 2 weeks upload your creations that feature Spring in some way!
My card features SheepSki Designs Wild Roses, colored with Copic and Prismacolor markers. The coral color from DLArt Spring Combo crinkled ribbon set was woven through Tonic Ribbons and Bow die set.
The green and Coral background layers were embossed and inked, with a little distressing on the coral done in Irish Spring Embossing Powder which contains a liberal amount of glitter:
The glittery leaves are bursting from the scene (as opposed to the seams).
Lastly, a coordinating corner was created for the inside of the card using the same image:
Some Products Used: Images: SheepSki Designs Wild Roses, SNS Ornate Greetings - Embossing Folders: Craftwell Delicate Dots, Craftwell Love Triangles Other: Irish Spring Embossing Powder (distressing edges), White Brilliance Ink, Mowed Lawn Distress Ink, Ribbon: DLArt Spring Combo, Dies: Tonic Ribbons and Bow set, Spellbinders Foliage Shapeabilities.

Hi Donna
Your card is so full of lovely spring colours and your colouring is super! Roses/wild roses are always gorgeous too. I also love the inside of your card, the wild roses are so beautifully coloured and I must see if I can purchase the Craftwell Delicate Dots, they look great and I love a bit of splatter on a card
Happy crafting....

Fabulous card with a lovely air of spring! Beautifully crafted as always, fabulous layers and die cuts, love how you've coloured your focal image too.
Our spring seems to have deserted us at the moment...it's really cold again, but at least it's not raining today! I think it's meant to get warmer again next week...hope so anyway!

This is so pretty and I love wild roses. We have such pretty pink shades of them each year growing in the ditches and prairies. But they sure are thorny things. LOL Your card is so fantastic and beautiful inside and out. You sure now how to put things together perfectly for great looking projects.
Gorgeous card Donna! I love that coral color combined with the yellow roses and the blue all around them! The dies you used are perfect with that pretty ribbon! Lovely card!
Stunning card, love the colours and your image is beautiful.

Beautiful! You had me at the yellow. So lovely inside, too, and wonderful coloring and design throughout. Pretty with the woven ribbon and glittery silver leaves. Spring? I see new green and a few flowers, but the rain just doesn't want to stop! Better than a drought, I guess.
Wow, not only is the front of the card gorgeous with it's beautiful flowers with the lovely coloring and your beautiful framing with that die and threading of the ribbon through it but the inside is just as pretty and would also make a great front of card too!
This is absolutely gorgeous Donna, a lovely floral image and beautiful die cut frames - the inside looks fabulous as well.
We had spring in March here as well, we are back to frosty nights now though so that means lots of covering up delicate blossom!
