Toni is our hostess this week for the WTUI challenge - you can find her "Forget the Mower" challenge HERE.
Actually, I've already uploaded two projects I started out planning for her challenge, so I had to make a fresh one. I decided to use Dina's Pencil Indenting tutorial.
All images are from Purple Onion, coloured with Polychromos pencils. I found some old fancy paper (Clairefontaine) which worked well for the base - I made this a 6.5" card. I also added some old Primas with brads for centres. Background and image panel matted on black. To colour the leaves in the tree tree, I used an old Fiskars texture plate under the paper.

I love the magical, delightful scenes you create, Sabrina, there is always so many fabulous details to enjoy! I have never seen the pencil indent technique before, it sure adds texture.

yesterday, April 10, we received about 3 inches of snow in about an hour. boy, did it come down. very wet, very heavy, very slushy. right at rush hour too. old man winter is messing with us. but I do believe northern WI got it worse.
on to your card, adorable, love all the elements, that background with the green squares and gold is a paper? it's beautifully GREEN! i will not be reading under a tree anytime soon.

This is a refreshing , Sabrina! Like the first really warm Spring day. When the scent of freshly mown grass is in the breeze. I love all the textures you captured here, especially the tree leaves. Just charming!
