Spring


 Good morning, it's time for our new challenge over at Crafty Catz- this week we're hosted by our lovely Bridget, the OPTIONAL  twist she has chosen is SPRING. There are no sponsor's this week, the challenge is just for fun.

It's not feeling spring like here just now- Wednesday we had snow, followed by rain and sleet, which melted the snow- yesterday it rained all day, which added to the melted snow in our local woods and turned all the pathways into mud slicks- I can honestly say Marvin has never been so muddy- even his face was covered in mud, not that it bothers him in the slightest- it's a good thing he's perfectly happy to be hosed down when he gets home! I wouldn't fancy putting a mud-caked Marvin in my bath or shower twice a day...or even once!

Anyway- back to the card. The daffodil stamp was a magazine 'gift', coloured with copic markers and cut out. The sentiment stamp is LOTV. The circle dies are tonic studios and the DP is very old, can't remember the brand. I've added some pale blue fibres and blue stone drops.

Head on over to Crafty Catz where you will find the lovely spring time creations my teamies have created, hope you're inspired to join us this week.

thanks for visiting today

The muted tones in the background showcase the slightly darker yellow shades in the daffodils perfectly a beautiful Spring card

Same weather and muddy paws here as well Chris, now it's snowing like fury again and promise of -4 later.

But it is Spring apparently and your card is a delight, I always thinks blue and yellow work so well together.

I love this stunning floral image and I have to say I have some of that paper you used on the card base. I think it has been in my stash for 15 years. Gorgeous card with that paper.

A beautiful Spring card and your daffodils are so pretty. It certainly doesn't feel very Spring-like at the moment with the latest flurry of snow! Michelle x

Hi Chris I'm so jealous that you have had snow, I love the white fluffy stuff and how it goes so quiet.
Your card is stunning, so beautiful and bright.
Have a lovely week
