I thought I would try something new ,so here goes .I have never made a spring card so I cheated and found a  pack in the drawer  ( could have told you porkies and said I made it).
I have used papers from  Tail Feather  and another digi by Emma Canning called Walkies
which I coloured with my Graph'it markers (sorry forgot to write down the colours) and used PanPastel Violet 470.5 to distress around the edges of the papers  ,the flowers are cut from my favourite sizzix die and for the flourishes
I used assorted die from my collection ,the beautiful feathers are also available from Polkadoodles
