Ah...feels so good to stamp again. Have been busy with other fun activities :-)
This is a Triple Challenge Easter card. Combining challenges is a great way to catch up on all the challenge fun.

This was a fun and easy card for the Easter season. I stamped the image in black Stazon over the 3 wide watercolored stripes and then watercolored the daffodil image using re-inkers and my aqua painters. I stamped the flower heads and bud a 2nd time, cut out with my papersnips and attached with dimensionals. They really pop IRL.
Enjoy and thanks girls for getting my Mojo flowing again :-)

A real beauty Nancy. I had to laugh, though, because when I first saw this in the main gallery, I thought it really looked like a Nancy card...and sure enough it is!

Absolutely LOVE the watercolored color blocks. So in keeping with Denise's challenge without overpowering. I like them better than using c/s or DSP for those elements. Great idea! Must try!

The watercolour stripes look just wonderful! They make a perfect springlike setting for your wonderfully knotted daffodils. This is such a fresh and pretty CAS card. Hard to believe Easter is just two weeks away, it's so early this year.

Nancy, your use of this weeks colors for your background is wonderful! They really do say "Spring"!!! Love your daffodils!!! That is a fabulous stamp and your addition of a perfectly tied bow in the pale, light blue is such a lovely trimming! Beautiful Easter card!
