A Little Bit of Sunshine

We haven't had much sun lately so when I received this stamp from Technique Tuesday - Greenhouse Society I thought of spring and sun!  I love daffodils.  We have a lot of daffodils planted in our backyard - probably fifty or so different varieties.  Spring is such a pleasure to walk around the backyard and look at all the beauty in the different daffodils.

This stamp is perfect for a watercolor flower.  Besides being delicate and pretty, the flower itself lends itself for watercolor.

Very plain and simple.  I think I will try it on a green card stock that matches the leaves in color.

Have a great week!

Card Swap #4

Round 4 of the card swap has started.  We are to send three people elements of a card (2-4 pieces).  Deciding what to send is probably more challenging than making a card with the elements I receive from three people.  So I went to Pinterest for inspiration.

Just last week I purchased a tag die set from Paper Smooches so I knew I wanted to use a tag as one of the elements.  So I selected a piece of card stock (small chevrons) to go with the graph paper tag.  Then I punched out five small pieces (dots and flowers) in similar colors.  I forgot to take a picture before I put my card together and before I mailed my card elements to the other players.

Here's my finished card.  I added some burlap looking ribbon and a sentiment (also from PS).  The layout is based on a card I saw on Pinterest which was done in red, white and blue paper, white and blue stars and red ribbon.

Thanks so much card will be posted to the Paper Smooches SPARKS Anything Goes Challenge.
