I've had the main image stamp for many years, it is an unmounted stamp that came in a grab bag, and I must have used it hundreds of times. I'm not sure the flowers are meant to be anything specific, which is useful as they can become a stylised version of whatever you want them to be, depending on how they are coloured. This time I coloured them in by scribbling watercolour markers on acetate then picking up the ink with a waterbrush, apart from the tiny flowers which I coloured directly with the markers. I'd have really liked to do them in forget-me-not blue, for the full-on spring effect, but I didn't want to introduce another colour. However, pink forget-me-nots are often found in gardens so I've not used *too* much artistic license.
The paper, card, ribbon and pearls are all long-time lurkers in my stash!

Pretty card! Love the flower image! Thanks for joining us at Crafty Gals Corner!
Oops, has anybody spotted the mistake? Just looked at some REAL daisies and realised that the pink is at the tips of the petals, not the bases!
