Daft Odile


I know... it's only February but we are so keen to see better weather that we are looking for the first signs of Spring for our Country View Challenge, which, this month, is hosted by Miriam. I am not entirely au fait with the fauna and flora announcing spring so do excuse me if my choice is too early or too late in the season!
I used a Daffodil stamp from Creative Stamping (Issue 65) on its first ever outing. I stamped with coloured inks and added pencil shading directly on my base card.

The sentiment is made up of 2 die-cuts, both from Papertrey ink.
As a final touch, I added the die-cut waste from some earlier project cut out of thick glitter paper.

Simple but I think it does have a certain Spring vibe...

Over to you now, have a look at what the DT made on the Country View Challenge blog and link up your project to the challenge for the chance to win a £20 voucher for the Country View Craft shop.



Thanks for coming by,

  1. I think most us welcome any hint of Spring Christine and Daffodils certainly bring that promise, a very pretty stylish design.
