Hi everyone and Happy St David's Day. Until this year I had lived in Wales for most of the last 25 years so it seems strange to hardly notice the significance of the day at all.This is my latest card. Loads of bright and cheery flowers to will the thought of spring along. I'm itching to get out in the garden but it is still too cold here.
This is only a small card - A6 with the bottom cut off to make it square. I'm trying to use up some of my older, enormous stash of ready made cards while I still have the time and incentive :)
The flowery background is made using watercolour paper on which I have stamped some tiny flowers from a set of Docrafts stamps. I have used water based pens directly on the stamp, then washed over the whole paper with clean water to make the images run a little. The tag is a ready made one from my stash, the flower is made from a couple of silk flowers and a pearl brad. The 3D dragonfly is from Anitas dimensions stickers.I just realised I have used my favourite colour combo again - note to self - use some different colours!
Hope you like it and would love if you could leave a comment,
Happy Crafting, Janice x
