Dancing with Daffodils from Power Poppy!

This is what Marcella Hawley had to say about daffodils:

“This image features awakening daffodils and twirling foliage in a tangle of periwinkle (Vinca minor), with a roly poly snail. A "just because" sentiment (with a transparent background) shares the daffodils' twirling sensibility!

You all may know from past blog posts and chit chat that I am a big admirer of daffodils, I have planted many varieties in my garden through the years, and some of them are nice enough to return each spring (when I haven't let other plants overtake their space...) Meanwhile, my mom, Susan, is a true daffodil devotee. She is a member of the American Daffodil Society, has planted gajillions of varieties all over the yard from bulbs she tracked down with daffodilaholic desire from her various sources. Each spring she calls me to come over and "cut a ton and make big bouquets!!" and I always oblige (who wouldn't?). They come in many shades of yellow, cream, and white with the most delicious colors for the "cup" - apricot, pink, salmon (of course yellow, white, green). The differences are subtle but really quite dreamy to play with.”

Now on to my card using this gorgeous image:

I wanted my flowers and my card to be bright and happy….just like Spring!  This was so much fun to color using my Copic markers!  I did a little bit (ok, a lot) of fussy cutting along the right edge of the image and added an embossed layer beneath the flowers.  I love the texture!

I have several patches of daffodils in my garden and lots of variegated vinca in almost all my wooded beds.  Now I’m just waiting for all the flowers to pop their pretty little heads out!
