Holy Carrots Batman!

Ohhh, Spring is most definately almost here - I noticed it was bright enough when I got home to actually see how badly my garden needs weeded!  Hopefully the rain will keep off till the weekend as the grass is an absolute quagmire and needs a few days drying out before I can tramp over it to get to the weeds! 

Anyway, my card stash is rightly full, so I thought I'd have a bit of fun with this Shirleys2Girls stamp that I bought last year and promtly forgot about ... tsk, tsk!  Coloured with copic markers and then popped the little carrot up on dimensionals.  I liked how it turned out, so I cut out another couple of carrots, added loads of stickles and used them as my embellishments in the bottom corner. (oh, and I see there's the usual blob of un-dried glue ... one of these days I'll wait till its dried before I take the pic !!)

Great card Lynne, love those carrots! I store my Promarkers lying down until they start to run a bit dry and then I store them pointy end down so all the ink runs to the nib. I noticed that Wendy stores then horizontally at the shop where i buy them so decided to do the same. Not sure if it's right, but it seems to work! Have a good weekend, Jo x

Lynne, this is the cutest! I love that popped up carrot and those in the corner. Super colors you used. I have a hard time with orange, but I see you certainly don't. Great use of the twine and tab.
BTW, I don't see any wet glue.
Have a fab weekend and hope you get to do your weeding.
