In truth, quite a lot of it does. No tulips, but there is a planter full of daffodils about to bloom. Alas, my little bay tree has suffered from the hard winter and doesn't look anything like this little topiary tree. I need to tell myself that my leafing pen is dead and stop using it - I think it didn't like the cold up in my attic any more than the bay tree liked the snow.
5 1/2" square white base. Lacy Squares layer embossed with Swiss Dots. I masked off the centre and coloured the lacy edges with my leafing pen. I also attempted a gold border round the card base - less successfully.
Image stamped on white card with Versafine Black, and cut and embossed with square Nestabilities. I used scraps of Basic Grey Two Scoops for piecing the pots, and coloured the flowers with distress inks, and Pewter Liquid Pearls for the willow buds.

Tulips and pussywillows... a sure sign of Spring! Love the sweetness of your potted garden... and it reminded me of the backdrop you use for your fairweather cards. Can't wait to see your strawberry pot again!

What a pretty card - love the little images and your gold edging too! All of my flowers are always potted each year and set all around the house and porches - no weeds!
