Tag Tuesday-Spring Flowers

Spring Flowers is the theme for this week's Tag Tuesday.

Well, we have had a real Spring here over the past few days, with

glorious sunshine, Spring flowers, birds, bees and butterflies all around.

 It couldn't last long, and today it is back to cold and windy-it's not

 raining all day long though, hooray! At the weekend we went 

to our favourite waterside cafe by the River Thames, now it is no

longer flooded, and sat outside in the sunshine!

This put me perfectly in the mood to make my Spring Flowers

tag. 

I used a stencil of cherry blossom and birds, and chose a black background to make the pink and green gel pens pop. The birds were collaged from flower paper, as they didn't stand out very well the first time. I added some sweet flower (card) buttons that I bought 

recently. The borders are made of floral and bee strips. For the outside frame I used green origami paper, which has images of rabbits and flowers on. I thought my floral scarf was a suitable background to photograph my Spring Flowers tag.
