So, when the Impression Obsession gals said - let's do a "spring" challenge - I was all over it! In fact, I didn't just want a springy look, I thought little umbrella drinks in exotic places! LOL!
These are some of the brand new Leigh Hannan images from Impression Obsession that were just released this week at CHA! I colored these babies with my Copic markers in a light pink, two shades of yellow, and two shades of green for the leaves and then I went back over the umbrella and drink with some Pixie Dust Shimmerz to give it a little pop of glitz! Add some bling to the "berries" and the top of the umbrella and... you're almost done! I did cut out and pop up one of the lemon hearts just for fun. Add some scalloped ribbon and grab a fun decorative paper from your scrap stash and you're fini! The tag was just done using the SU scalloped circle and 1-1/2" circle punches. Here's a close up....
Want to see some other signs of spring here in blog land? Just check out what the other fab IO gals have cooked up!

What a great card, Julie! I'm very ready for Spring, too. Love those lemon-hearts... seems I have some stamp shopping to do. :)
OK, now, are they lemons or are they watermelons? I have seen them both ways now.........love the pink and yellow together. Gonna have to pull this one out again, and take a poll......!! LOL

Why don't you bring me a drink like that to Virginia? You can thaw out down here!! Beautiful card!
Very pretty card! I'm ready for spring too. We just got a ton of snow yesterday and I am dreading going out in it today.
This is just totally adorable!
So cute and I'm with you...let's head for the warm place. I think I will do just that come March. Mom
So pretty! Love the colors and beautiful coloring! And berries are so cute!
Springy is right, first LOVE that the lemons are shaped like hearts. This is a great image too. Fun card Julie.
This is just too stinkin' cute! I love the lemon hearts! Beautifully colored too!
I NEED this bad!!! It is s-n-o-w-i-n-g again. You have more than captured the essence of spring. Love the colors and the design and your bling-y berries. 51 days and counting...
This is SO cute! Love the color and the shimmer. I just rec'd my IO order; I almost ordered this image, and I think you tipped me toward it for my next order. :)
Weather extremes in our country...you have bitter cold and not so cold. Here in the south (TX over to FL), we have hot and hotter. Then there's that pesky humidity. :)
Hey girlfriend!! Life is good here.. Busy but good. Love this card... We need spring in a bad way.. So much snow up here..
Sooooo pretty! And who doesn't love tropical drinks?!?
Darling card! Really like the color choices. Just think warm.

Beautiful card and the colors. Makes me want to have that little umbrella in my drink.

Super cute!!! One of the very cutest glass/lemonade type cards I've EVER seen -- what a sweet image!!!
What a FUN image!!! Love those citrus hearts!
I am soooo ready for spring. Allergy season, sure, but WARMTH! and the kids can play outside!!!
I love the Leigh Hannan stamps! This is a totally fabulous card! So fresh and pretty! I'm suddenly thirsty...no kidding!
Love what you did with this card! I live in the tropic (sometimes might call here exotic) and I would love to be in the beach (just steps away from our apartment parking lot) with one of these pink lemonades. WOW! That would be heavenly!
