Hello Sweet Friends and Happy Monday! I trust your weekend was lovely and you found a bit of time for yourself. Easter is fast approaching and I'm working on Easter cards; as usual I've waited till last minute **sigh.
I've had this Easter Stamp Set from Gina K. Designs for a couple of years now and only remember to use it at Easter time. It's a shame because the Daffodils are so pretty and would make a lovely project for Spring; even Mother's Day.
I've colored the image using Prismacolor Pencils and tried to stay true to a traditional Daffodil color palette. I was experimenting with different shades of green and prefer the medium tones that appear on each side of the image.
I thought a Clean and Simple theme was enough since the image is substantial. I've matted with a panel of black card and added enamel dots for added visual interest. That completes the card and my post for today.
Have a fantastic Monday and until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna

Daffodils are my favorite Spring flower, I used to have 34 varieties in my gardens, so your card 'speaks' to me as it is gorgeous and makes me yearn for mine to start blooming. You did a beautiful job of coloring with the pencils!!

What a pretty card, Donna. Daffodils have always been a favorite of mine, but the only time I got to enjoy them in person was the 3 years we lived in Connecticut! Your choices of colors with the orange trumpets are lovely. Such a pretty card!
