Good morning to you all and a very Happy St. David's Day !
I was so happy to see that my lovely team mates at
had chosen Yellow for St.David's Day as the theme for this week.
My wonderful, maternal Grandmother was born and raised in North Wales and I fondly remember stories she would tell my Sister and I of how beautiful "home" was. We often talked of visiting...perhaps one day!
I've used a new digi called Daffodils and Butterfly on my card today and it can be found here.
The frame digital images that Teri creates are fabulous.
Even I, the sometimes technically challenged crafter, can easily add sentiments inside the frame before printing!
So pleased with myself and the way this card turned out...can you tell :)
Details:
Coloured with Copics
I printed the image twice, coloured one completely and the 2nd image was used to mount for a decoupage effect. I created a frame with the yellow cardstock so the silver beads would fit snuggly inside. You cannot see in the photo but the layer underneath the image is a light silver gray vellum with a pale yellow rose pattern. Silver beads on a string from Michaels as well as the ribbon.
I intend to enter the following challenges:
LEJ Designs Challenge - For a Lovely Lady
Crafty Cardmakers Challenge #85 - Blooming image
Stamp & Create Challenge - Spring is Coming

Thank you so much for stopping by, it really means a lot to me that you take the time and those of you celebrating this special day, enjoy!
Hugs,

Such a beautiful, elegant, card Pat. I love daffodils. My Dad is Welsh and we lived in Wales from when I was six until we came to Australia when I was 13. I remember it as very green - and always raining! Everywhere is green compared with here though, lol. Especially this year which has been the hottest summer on record! Anyway, enjoy your weekend, Donna xx
