A Taste of Spring Snowdrops

It's another Saturday with the Shining the Light Challenges at Our Daily Bread Designs!  Did you know it's the first day of Spring today?  So that's our theme...create something with the theme of spring. 

I wanted to create something that shows what Spring looks like here!  Though we've had a very mild winter and the snow is about 2/3 melted, we're still in that stage of mostly soft colors, not too much spring color yet, that sort of grey blue phase.  So I took this beautiful Lily of the Valley from the Easter Blessings set, and colored it softly with my Copic Markers, adding a soft blue around the plant too, then after I was done I added Dazzling Diamonds glitter on the flowers to make them look like shimmering Snowdrops. 

Below you can see a better picture of the shimmer.   I sewed and distressed all the layers of designer paper (Memory Box Dewfrost), adding some teeny tiny pearls, diagonal ribbon and a punched row behind it with the sheer ribbon in a pretty double bow. 

So join us on this Spring Challenge today.  You can link at the ODBD Blog, and your keywords for SCS are ODBDSLC6
