daffodils

I made an Easter card with daffodils. This will be entered in Shopping Our Stash and also on Splitcoast Stampers in the Challenge Your Stash and March to the Beat challenge.

The daffodils are from a Simon Says Stamp set called Joys of Spring. The Happy Easter greeting came from a Your Next Stamp set. The patterned paper is Echo Park ad the green print is from Memento. The cardbase is from my stash and matched well with everything.

I am the hostess for both Splitcoast Stampers challenges for the month of March. I sent each person in the March to the Beat challenge two pieces of the stamped daffodil image, several greetings from the same set and a few more. They also received a piece of this green patterned paper as well as a yellow piece. It is fun to see how each person uses the same image differently. The Challenge Your Stash group will each be making Easter cards as that is the theme I chose. I look forward to seeing the variety.

The Shopping our Stash is titled Spring Has Sprung: https://shoppingourstash.blogspot.com/2024/03/sos518-spring-has-sprung.html

This is my other daffodil card that I created a few weeks ago. I wish each of my Buddies a very Happy Easter. I will not be sending cards as I just didn’t get them made. I have these two and I think I will send them to my two aunts, who should receive them my Easter.

So thrilled that the Power Poppy blog is back and sharing ideas and inspiration. The current challenge is April Flowers Bring May Flowers, so I had to color an image.

I used the new Sketches of Spring Vol. 1 digital image. These daffodils are so pretty and fun to color with the sketch lines drawn by Marcella Hawley. When I color this again, I plan to change the buds color and the large flower behind the daffodils. This time all of the flowers are colored in yellow and orange tones. I used a variety of alcohol markers on this image. I enjoyed taking the time to color.

This card will be used for my monthly Crafter’s of Faith challenge card at SplitcoastStampers. This month the verse is 1 Corinthians 10:31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. The challenge is to make a card giving glory to God. I believe all nature gives glory to God, so this image is perfect.

Thanks for stopping by!
