Less is More Week 3 - Spring

I woke up this morning to snow........

....and as my BH is away for the day, this meant one thing to me - a whole day in to play in the craft room!  Woo hoo!!!

I had a look at the new challenges that had been posted in my google-reader and spotted that the new one from Simply Less is More was now live, and as I had such fun making my CAS card for it the other night, I thought I'd play along again.  Especially as this week its a theme - Spring.  Given the snow outside this morning, thinking of spring seemed like a very good idea to me!

I decided to use a flower again, one of my all time favourite stamps that I use time and time again - its just perfect for classy cards for a variety of occasions from birthdays, to get well to sympathy. 

For me, the spring theme led me to "yellow" as spring to me is when the daffodils and crocuses pop their heads out of the icy ground.  Rather than colouring the whole image, to keep it CAS, I decided to highlight a central area, in a circle to hint at the sun which also comes in Spring occasionally, and colour that portion only.  I used just yellow and grey copics to colour the highlighted spot, then double mounted onto two shades of yellow.  Finished with a Elzybels sentiment which I thought was very appropriate to the challenge and I would like to send to sunshine to myself today as well to melt the snow...
