Daffodils are among the first signs of Spring in NC.
Their bright sunny faces are always a welcome sight.
I thought I'd like to transfer some of that joy to paper.
Alas! My endeavors were lacking and my trash can filled up quickly.
God can make daffodils. I can only make a weak imitation.
This one made it onto a card.
This beautiful stamp is from Penny Black's new Love Art set.
I stamped it with Whisper White ink and heat embossed it
on a piece that had already been embossed with the tulip frame.
I colored the image with an Aqua Painter using ink squished onto the lids of the inkpads.
Then I sponged a bit of Soft Sky ink around the bloom.

your card is really beautiful. Great coloring on the daffodil and love the sponged background. The tulip border really sets it off.
A very pretty Easter card Bonnie. I like the embossed frame too. They are beautiful flowers.
We have lots of daffodils at the moment growing on the grass bank outside our cottage and just across the road on a triangular green. I love the springtime. It is my favourite month. I wish you and yours a very Happy Easter. Barbxx
This is such a delicate and pretty card..Yes God made the Daffodils but yours is so very pretty, delightful and is truly the inspiration for Spring x
As much as I love living in Crete, Greece, I sometimes miss all the spring flowers we enjoyed in the Netherlands: crocuses, tulips and of course daffodils. When I was at university, I would often buy daffodils to put in a vase, since they were so cheap. Thanks for bringing back some sweet memories.
Very pretty daffodil Bonnie!! Love it paired with the embossed daffodil border. xx
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this card, your daffodil is absolutely beautiful (I may be biased LOL)

Heat embossing first with the white ink has given your daffodil a lovely effect. Anoterh beautiful card. Hugs Mrs A.
Bonnie this is gorgeous - but I know what you mean about only making a poor representation of God's creation.

I just saw another blog where they'd used this embossing folder! I had mine out the other day but never got a card made using it. Love it on this Bonnie. It's so pretty with that gorgeous flower.

Such a soft, gentle and very pretty Easter card. I like the pairing of the daffodils image with the SU tulips embossing folder and the offset position of the image. (The embossing folder is an oldie but goodie fave of mine so will have to dig that out to use soon.) I think God gave you a wonderful ability to appreciate and share His awesome treasures....like spring daffodils!
Beautiful. Love your daffodil.
this card is so beautiful and delicate
Lovely soft colouring of your daffodils and they look great framed by that embossing folder.
Awww...this is so so pretty. The Daffy's are blooming at my house and I just love them!
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful creation with us at Penny Black Saturday Challenge!

There is a special place in Heaven for artists and I know that you will be more than welcome there on day. In fact I thing the angels will have you giving lessons!
Beautifully done Bonnie!

They are a sign of spring here in PA too, along with the crocus. I love this card Bonnie! It is so beautiful, simple and clean. Love the white embossing and watercoloring of the flower. Stunning. Hugs, Brenda
I always associate daffodils with spring even though they aren't native to here and would wilt in a heartbeat. Lovely card!
