Hello, and welcome to a new week at my happy place!
While spring is still fresh and young I thought I'd color some daffodils. Those in my garden have long since come and gone, but Penny Black's not-yet-used Flower Scoops from last year will work nicely for a friend's birthday later this month.
The SSS Teardrop Pinpoint Frames on the pretty designer paper provided an extra feminine starting point for the base. The additional mat was measured and cut with my paper trimmer, and the corners punched with an oldie but goodie decorative corner rounder. I brushed the edges with Stampin' Up Mellow Moss ink and stamped a sentiment from another PB set. Off to a good start!
The daffodil bouquet was colored with Tombow markers and blender on watercolor paper, then hand cut and shaped from the backside with a roller ball type stylus. It's popped up on foam tape, plump in the middle with the edges curled back. Three iridescent sequins finish the card.
Speaking of springtime and happy place...
Ridley's happy place is anywhere with a ball. You can probably guess that on this April day he'd been chasing it quite a bit. It can be hard to get any work done out there, but he's worth it. The forsythia has now dropped a lot more blooms as the green leaves push them out of the way to have their turn in the garden.
