Spring Flowers

Good morning folks!  April showers today, but I can handle that.  Hopefully it will help the grass turn green and start some sprouting in the gardens.  In the meantime, I'll just have to settle for colouring some pretty spring flowers.


Another DT post for Just Inklined, this time using one of their newer images...Narcissus.  Lots of green you'll notice, and some nice sunny yellow to brighten the day.  Next weekend being Easter, I'm really hoping for some nice sunny days.

Plenty of layers to this one, and I've once again added some black accents and I think it makes the bright colours stand out more.  The borders at the top are simply different patterned tapes that I've had kicking around for a while.  Makes for a nice simple card.

Some challenges for my card:

  1. Love the contrasting black with the green and yellow, a beautiful Spring card. Our daffodils are almost over now and the blossom on the trees is so thick this year, probably because of our mild, wet winter xx
