I die cut my crocus's from white cs and then inked them up using DOX inks. I also die cut The Greetery's Garden Tub Die from Smokey Slate cs and then did a bit of ink blending around the edges with white pigment ink and black to make it look a bit more aged. After placing my blooms in the tub, I felt like it needed more filler (greenery), so I die cut the Garden Tub Filler Die from a piece of green cs and added it behind the Crocus's. Much better!!
I added a sentiment from The Greetery's Little Labels stamp & die set and also a small butterfly from Waffleflower (silver sparkle cs and vellum) before attaching it all to a panel that I embossed using SB's Hand Drawn Lines. Sure looks like Spring to me!!

So lovely, Marcia!!!
You've filled that garden tub so beautifully for spring, Marcia! I like all of the extra little sprigs you've tucked in among those fabulous Crocus blooms and the sweet butterfly stopping by for a meal! Another marvelous card!
I love your view of Spring, Marcia - this one I happen to know is even more beautiful IRL!

What a beautiful garden in your tub, Marcia! I love this tub with the added sponging and the greenery makes these pretty blooms stand out even more! A beautiful Spring card, my friend!
You have the most beautiful dies and you know how to use 'em! Love that tub, and I think these must be the most realistic crocus dies. I'm in awe every time I see them. These parts all look perfect together, including the embossed background. Wonderful!
I have these crocus and tub (our craft room stash is pretty similar!) What a beautiful creation for spring - love that grid die cut background too - happy Spring! (it is coming right??!) Julia xx
Had to come on by and tell you how beautiful this card is. The Garden tub looks as fabulous as the Crocuses! So inspiring!
This is definitely a Spring card, and it gives us all the feels of warmer weather coming with new flowers! This is a darling card, Marcia
A bucket full of spring! Our minds must be focused on the same thing..... come on spring! Love your beautiful crocus and how you've filled this bucket to the brim. The flitting little butterfly is a wonderful addition to the scene.
Perfect card to celebrate Spring's arrival, Marcia. Love your crocuses. Need to pull mine out and have a play! :) xx
If only I had a planter like that to put my crocuses in. It does look aged like I like and you filled it to the brim, Marcia.
The flowers are so pretty and coloured to perfection and they look amazing in that gorgeous planter. I wouldn't mind having that on my balcony !.
