As much as I love Tulips, I can't grow them at my house because of those cute bunny rabbits!! Those sweet little things bite the Tulip heads off and then just leave them laying there! Grrrrrrrrrr!! However, they do leave the Daffodils alone and I just LOVE their bright sunny color! They add such a pop of color to an otherwise pretty gray landscape around here, as we don't really green up here in Michigan till May. And I just LOVE the color YELLOW! This image is from Gina K and called Easter Blessings. I stamped the image in black and then clear heat embossed before coloring with my Poly Chromos pencils and then using Gamsol to spread the color around. I stamped the sentiment below the flowers and then added a couple score lines to highlight the sentiment. Finished with a black mat and some black & white gingham ribbon before attaching to a Crushed Curry card base, and then added a few Disco Ball sequins (Gina K) to add a touch of bling.

Hi, I'm returning to the blog world after a lengthy absence and popping in to say hi. I'm a newish paper crafter and enjoy reading others' posts too. Connie
ReplyDeleteYour daffodils are so pretty Marcia. They really are the happies flowers, aren't they??!! Love the bright yellow of Spring. xx
ReplyDeletethe bunnies eat the tulips? OMG...I am dealing with deer! We just put a 7 foot fence around our vegetable garden where we have raised beds, and I decided to plant 100 daffodils and tulips in one of the beds so I could have cut flowers. Well, the daffodils are gorgeous, but the tulips had been chewed down to one inch. So we got busy on that fence and you know, they are growing, I sure hope I get to see some flowers after all!! Love your daffodil card!
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy card. I love daffodils and I love this card with its pretty colouring and the pop of black and white gingham looks fabulous Marcia x.
