My card for today is pretty CAS actually. I colored the card a while ago, and had it in my stash. The two colors of green card stock were on my desk, waiting for some spring inspiration. I wanted to play the Our Daily Bread Shining the Light challenge for this week, click ODBDSLC6.This week the challenge team is challenging you to Think Spring and New Life- Since this is the first day of Spring, create something for spring using Spring colors, sentiments and images portraying New Life. (perfect time for an Easter Creation being that we are new creatures in Christ).
My colors are spring and my new life is the grass. I guess you could say the "rainbow" is new life, as it only appears after the rain and sun are mixed!!!My Hannah Stamps! image is colored with prismacolor and koh-i-noor pencils, using OMS, and a stump to blend. I used the grass and sentiment from "Hang in There", by Theresa Momber for Gina K Designs. I did a bit of masking, but I did want the tall grass over her boots. The sentiment is popped up on foam dots. I sponged light blue and light gray for the cloudy sky, which appears to be clearing up. I wanted my card to say, "momma said there'd be days like this...look for the rainbow!" I had to hand letter the inside. I had no rainbow, so I pulled out "Wall Flower" by Clear & Simple, which is exactly the width of my cs, and I used markers to color the stamp. The ribbon treatment is simply hole punches with the ribbon woven through. See the tiny daisies?
On a more personal note...
Spring is one of the worst times of year for me. Oh, I love it and feel so happy, but my brain has a hard time. I get more migraines in the spring, than the rest of the year combined. Well, except for the fall which is exactly like the spring. I don't usually get horrible pain, but many of my cognitive skills take a severe hit. Like, please don't ask me any questions that require more than a yes or no answer. Thanks for stopping by, I know I've been MIA for a week or so, but I have been trying to leave some love on your blogs.
SMILES & HUGS, Lori

oh Lori---I used to get horrible migraines (my first kiddo ended them...guess they were hormone related) so i feel your pain. NO FUN. Praying this spring is better for you.
Your card is adorable. Love how you did the ribbon at the top.
Oh, Lori, I am sorry that Spring is not a good time of year for ya....and yes, I can relate to migraine headaches...have them but mine are all through the year :C. I LOVE your card, my friend!!!! The coloring is amazing...I wish I could color. Thank you so very for taking the time and playing along with us in the Shining the Light challenge!!! Hugs and blessings, Sabrina
Your card is so precious! I'm so sorry spring is hard on you my friend! It's such a beautiful time of year! I'll keep you in my prayers!
Think Winter and maybe it won't be so hard on you, hang in there. Your card is amazing! I love the image, reminds me of the girl on the salt box LOL

Thanks for joining us at ODBD Shining the Light Challenge!!
Lovely card Lori, such a sweet image and great design. Sure hope this spring isn't too bad for you...I have had two migraines in my life and know they are so difficult to deal with....{{HUGS}}
Your card sure is CaUTE Lori! Lovin this Hannah stamp and LOOOVE that beautiful rainbow you did on the inside. The colors are so vibrant and wonderful and love the saying.
I am right there with ya on the Spring brings misery thing. For me, it's my severe allergies and nothing helps much. I usually get 3-4 hours of sleep per night... and it's going on week 3 of this. :( Yep, been to doctor--got the prescription stuff. It may help for about 1 day and then I get immune to the med. I know my RAINBOW is coming... but it won't be for another 2 months I'm afraid. But I do have to admit... I love living in an area that has the 4 seasons. At least 3 out of 4 are very enjoyable *Ü*
She's so pretty, and I love your ribbon treatment too!!
