Spring...in Montana!

Welcome to my entry for the Waltzingmouse Blog Party!  

This month's theme is spring. I took some liberties with the term "spring." For me spring is bare mountains and green fields. Sure, there could be wildflowers, but they usually don't show up until summer. For me, spring still has a chill in the air, and the threat of snow. There aren't quite flowers yet. :) Enough rambling, here's my card:

Hope you like it, and play along! There's still a bit of time before the party's over at the Waltzingmouse Blog.

    Beautiful!
    Love how you colored the cottage...
    I can just imagine the greens of Ireland...
    though there's probably quite a bit in Montana ;)

    Oh beautiful, just love the soft coloring around that sweet cottage. The background stamping is equally wonderful! So glad you could join the party this month! :)

    I love this hillside cottage - your image panel looks great against the stamped background and I love the sentiment stamped directly onto the image!

    A great realistic take on spring. I have visited Montana and understand your inspiration. The quote is lovely and I think the bg layer echoes the thatching mentioned.

    I love your interpretation of spring and the basket weave background matches up with your cottage so well!
