I choose to see flowers!

Hello crafting friends!

There are defiant vases of daffodils all over my house and I'm blocking out the storm by colouring flowers in the Craft Square Metre! Come and see:

I started this card by stamping a piece of white card stock with Hardwood by Stampin' Up, making a long thin aperture in it with one of the Christina Griffiths stitched rectangles, and cutting the whole thing out with a card-shaped stitched rectangle from Heffy Doodles.

I cut another of the Heffy Doodles rectangles and stamped some flowers from Clearly Besotted's Pretty Pansies on it, using a masking technique. These were coloured with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers. The wood stamped aperture panel was attached over the top and  I coloured some of the planks of wood with a pale grey watercolour pencil.

I thought a blocky sentiment would work well with this card and used the Thank You greeting from Uniko's Simply Said Blocks II. The card was finished with black Enamel Effects in the centres of the flowers.

CHALLENGES
The Colour Throwdown came up with some gorgeous colours this week and I couldn't resist joining in. I've used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and I'm also linking up with Inspire Create where the challenge is A Blank Slate.

AND IN OTHER NEWS
I've always loved that saying 'There are always flowers for those who want to see them' and I DO want to see them! And, the minute I typed that, the sun came out :)

Are you having a nice weekend? What are you up to?

Hugs,
