Daffodils for the first day of Spring


Morning Peeps, today at 5.37am the March Equinox marked the first day of Spring in the Southern Hemisphere so as host for this weeks new challenge at Allsorts that had to be reflected in my theme. As usual it involves flowers for which I make no excuse as I think after the long, long Winter we are all ready to see 'Spring Flowers'

This week Clare from Pinksy Doodles is our sponsor and designed this pretty new Daffodil Vase for the occasion.


Two cards from me using the same image and both paper pieced using Clare's papers which you will find here and here. The sentiments are from my Spring Sentiments set.

My thanks as always for your kind visits and words of encouragement.

Both great cards with more than a hint of Spring!
I hope everything is OK your end (2 legged and 4 legged members of the family)
P.S Have had my first jab! The organisation was (is) superb, like a military operation but with a light-hearted atmosphere, very impressed...

Two fabulous cards Brenda, such a pretty image. When the daffodils show themselves in the garden it brings a smaile to my face as I know that the warmer days are on their way.

Beautiful cards both of them, B, daffodils are so very cheery aren’t they? and I’m imagining you’ll all be anxious for spring over there as it has been cold in some laces I’ve heard. Pray you’re keeping okay all things considered, dear B. Pray so daily
Thanks for Sharing, God bless and keep you safe, and all those you love, hugs Shaz in Oz.x

Ciao Brenda, hai usato molto bene questi narcisi, le due card sono così luminose e primaverili!
Non penso mai al paper pieging, eppure è una tecnica che mi piace molto. Grazie per l'ispirazione.
Qui c'è il sole ma fa di nuovo freddo. Spero che ci sia il sole anche da te. Spero che il freddo non rovini i boccioli dei fiori. Tutti gli alberi da frutta stanno germogliando ed è ora di seminare e piantare per l'estate.
Un abbraccio
