All Occasion Card Using Ching-Chou Kuik "Spring Delight"

Hello friends.  How are you doing?  Are you ready for Spring/Summer?  We are getting more rain again in Southern CA.  It is supposed to rain 3 days this week. I feel like I am back in FL with all the rain.  LOL!  

I am here today to share another card I created using Ching-Chou Kuik "Spring Delight".  I love this sweet image; but have always been too intimidated to color it.  I am getting braver with my coloring this year; and starting to color the ones I wouldn't have colored a year ago.   All you have to do when coloring something that feels overwhelming; is just start coloring.  Do the things you are most comfortable first like skin and hair; then do one item at a time. Eventually you will get everything colored.  It's one step at a time.  Before you know it; it is all colored.  LOL!
