Daffodils have a special place in my heart because they are my birthday flower! This gorgeous daffy image is from Flourishes, and I had the best time using my favorite coloring technique: watercolor painting with inks. Yay! That's always so enjoyable. I thought that a pink, yellow, and celery color scheme would be just right for this spring thank you note. The yellow and pink ledger paper DP in the background is from Pink Paislee's Sweetness collection. The yellow lace is vintage stuff from the sewing box I inherited from my Gramma.
I incorporated several additional challenges into this card:
- CPS209:
- Flourishes' March Release Challenge: FLLCMAR11, to create and use a cut edge on your card. I have several that I created with border and corner punches!!
- Tuesday Throwdown: Lace
- Flourishes Timeless Tuesday: FTTC109, Butterflies
- Clear It Out: Buttons
Thanks so much for stopping by to check out my little slice of bliss for today!
