I am honored to say that I am the Guest Designer at Crafting By Designs! The challenge is "Think Warm Thoughts/Spring". Perfect idea for January...let's think spring!
One of my favorite flowers is the daffodil. It is such a pleasure to see these magnificent beauties after all the snow has melted. They are just so bright and cheerful. What a great flower to start springtime!
For my spring card I used Heartfelt Creations Daffy Daffodils stamp set. The daffodil was heat embossed in gold on vellum paper. Tim Holtz distress markers were used to color the image. The vellum was adhered to ivory paper die cut using Spellbinders Opulent Ovals. The card base is Spellbinders' Diamond Effects (don't you just love that die?!).
The inside of the card has Happy Birthday (sentiment from Inspired by Stamping's Vintage Frames).
Thanks so much to the talented crafters at Crafting by Designs for allowing me to be a guest designer today!
Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Kathy Jo
