I found a gelli print I made a few months ago that would fit the bill for today's challenge as it was printed on an old thesaurus page. I colored and fussy cut the crocus and added a tiny bit of stickles for sparkle. The frame was cut with 2 different nesties (and I noticed today that my Cuttlebug has a huge crack in it! Guess I'll be on the search for a new one..was bound to happen..I've used it a lot!). This will be my last Easter card. I've already sent the rest...I'll be hand delivering this one ;)

Polly, this is very attractive...love the bg you made to showcase the crocuses. It's been snowing and blowing, not much like Easter. Happy Easter to you and your family. TFS

That's great fussy-cutting, Polly - and you did find the perfect background to pair with the crocuses. I can never decide which colour of them I like best - but this is the colour we mostly had in the garden when I was a child.

What a fantastic gelli print love it on the text paper! The flowers look gorgeous against it and the frame just helps draw you in! Hope you have a blessed Easter Polly!

A pretty bg to showcase your beautiful crocus! I love the sentiment too. We're not getting snow, but it is an ugly day with lots of rain. No crocus here yet.
