Spring Daffodils

Hope you all had a great weekend, we had a lovely family day out on Saturday and a girlie Sunday which was lovely. Today I am sharing a spring card I made using some of the lovely new stamps from Clearly Besotted - love daffodils, they are so cheery...

I started by stamping three daffodils across the left side of the card. I then coloured them using my Copic Markers. I used a Stamposaurus Stencil and some grey ink to create a faded kind of background. I then stamped a third daffodil, cut out and popped it up onto 3d foam pads. The sentiment is also from the same stamp set. I also added some twine. These stamps are available at Clearly Besotted called Just Darling.
