Fussy and Fancy Challenge 137 - Springtime Flowers

Happy Friday
Fussy and Fancy followers!

********
 
Our challenge for the next
fortnight is hosted by our
very sweet and talented

Vannessa

Hi, I'm Vannessa and during the day, I am a primary school teacher in the UK.

 I love teaching my lively class of 7 and 8 year olds, but thoroughly enjoy making cards and colouring as a way to relieve all the stress that comes with a job like mine!

I generally use Copics on my cards, but I am slowly learning how to use distress inks too! 

I am still practicing so I am not quite there with those just yet.
 I am a huge fan of ribbon, patterned papers and pretty flowers and just had to pull out heaps of my Marianne Designs dies for this week's challenge, Springtime Flowers.

Looking forward to seeing lots of gorgeous flowery designs for my challenge this fortnight.
 

The challenge Vannessa has chosen is:
 
Springtime Flowers
 
Here is the lovely card
that Vannessa has created
for her challenge!
