I saw the challenge at Penny Black and More was titled April-Springtime so I figured some dancing daffodils would fit the bill quite beautifully. I had to really work on this design and between some Arteza watercolor markers and some Bic markers I finally was satisfied with what it looked like. So if it is a bit bedraggled looking you know why. It was a struggle for me. But I love daffodils so had to keep working at it.
The stamp sets used on this card was the Penny Black Daffodil Dance stamp and a sentiment from the Penny Black Special Wishes set. I used my paper cutter to make the layers.
I am also adding this to the Double D's Challenge which calls for Watercoloring.
Well, don't expect too many posts from me until after Easter. I might post another one besides this. I hate the thought but am going into cleaning and baking mode around here. It takes me so long to do it that I need a good ten days. LOL In the meantime you all take care.
God bless,
Verna

Good luck with getting ready for Easter. I still have to finish up cards. Your daffodils turned out so lovely!
Your dancing daffodils are a delight and really brighten the dull morning outside my craft room window, many thanks for joining in with our 'Spring' theme at Penny Black and More challenge.

I really enjoyed looking at these artsy water colored daffodils. They are a spring flower that I love and soon they will be popping up to remind us of the new season. Thanks for joining in the fun at Double D.

It looks beautiful, Verna! Your daffodils are so pretty! I struggle with watercolour too - I need a lot more practice!
