Spring has Sprung with Winter's backing

Hi everyone, we have had a fabulous day here, blue skies, bright sun, daffodils shaking their heads in the wind, but temperatures right down to 2C so in the wind VERY COLD.

Here are some of my daffodils, as you know by the name of my blog, I'm a daffodil lover and March 1st is St Davids Day a National day here in Wales and the daffodil is our national flower, I was hoping they would hold out to flower until then, never mind, how can you not love them at any time?

As children we would dress up in national costume on St Davids Day and have a school concert then have a half day off school, invariably it would end up most of us being taken into town to show off our costumes, looking back it was a wonderful day, as we girls would be centre of attention.


 Enough of my gardening, it's cards you've come here for, so here we go.

This card was for a friend who has 2 Yorkshire Terriers, she is what I could call obsessed with them, I know she would agree LOL.  Anyhow as I had used digis before on her cards I thought this little piccy would be different for her this year. I have used a cluster from ABD Designs at Digital Design Studio.  I printed it all onto the card then printed the charm, butterfly and the larger flowers again onto photo paper, which added a shine, to 3D layer them. I added Glamour Dust and voila. I  love the lace and with the added shadows I think it looks almost real.

I am going to enter these challenges

    What lovely daffs! And how lovely that you are seeing them already!! We only see them at the flower stands this time of year - and I believe they are flown here from Ireland! What a great picture/digital card - love how you cut out and layered the charm and butterfly!

    Faith, your beautifully framed doggie photo looks fabulous on this sweetly embellished and scallop-edged card. The addition of your pretty cameo charm adds an especially nice touch. So glad to see your entry at the Crafts and Me Stamps' digi team's "Charmed, I'm Sure (add a charm)" challenge. Hugz, ~ Rose
