For My Friend

Hello crafters!  Hopefully a daffodil card will bring about a nice spring day soon!  I selected a piece of pixied card from my stash (it used Emerald Green and Golden Mint Pixie Powders) and used it as a background for half the card.  I added it to the bottom of a piece of white card and added a thin black mat to it.  I cut the Layered Daffodil dies and made a small bunch of Daffodils using two shades of yellow and two shades of green for the leaves.  I assembled them and glued the to the cad.  I used the For My Friend sentiment cut in black and glued it to the pixied card.  I added two white butterflies from the Dainty Butterfly set to the top of the card.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  7 1/2"  in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hi Sue and all that visit.

Oh Fluffycat, what can I say, I'm thrilled for you, now get ya bum out of the litter and get making with your amazing gift. Congratulations sweetheart and congratulations to you Sue on a beautiful springtime collection, I only wish I'd been able to follow each day but I've reached the end and was actually looking at ordering this first smile of spring yesterday for a card I've been asked for.
Apart from Snowdrops and Hellibores, after the Crocus bulbs the bright yellow of the daffodil starts to burst through the cool soil and greets us every morning for weeks and weeks, a sure sign the temperature is slightly rising preparing us for sunnier days.
A beautiful card today Sue bringing a smile to my face too.
Love to everyone xxx

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a beautiful spring card today, I love to see the daffodils opening up there trumpets to say 'hello wake up it is spring' it also reminds me of Mothering Sunday when I was a child and went to Sunday School, we were all give a daffodil to take home, as I am one of 5 girls Mum always had 5 lovely flowers in a vase. Memories.....

Congratulations 'Fluffycat', I know you will enjoy your new collection. Thank you also Sue for being so generous.

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Hi Sue. Nothing suggests spring more than a wonderful bunch of daffodils and I do love this daffodil die which adds so much dimension to the card without the bulk.

Absolutely gorgeous card and perfect for all my Welsh family....Congrats to Fluffcat enjoy....

Fluffycat said...

Hi Sue, now that I have picked myself up from the floor I can say THANK YOU so very much. I can't believe that I have won Chip and the rest of the amazing set and am really looking forward to making many cards with it and probably some egg bunting also :-)

Thank you ladies for all your lovely comments.

Today's card is beautiful, I love it. I had expected to make some Easter cards featuring the daffodil but they will now have to make way for Chip and Bertie Bunny (I had to give him a name lol) and I know I will have so much fun creating with them.
