The First Spring Flowers

My garden was awash with clumps of snowflakes all through March.  They truly are one of the joys of spring.  So they are my choice for The Paper Players "Springtime Flowers" challenge.


Stamped, watercoloured, bordered with a bit of dp that picks up the colours in the image, and popped up on fun foam.

    They are just lovely and the coloring to match the colors in the pattern paper looks so soft and pretty. Spring is here!

    LOVE your sweet bouquet of snowdrops Susan. Definitely a sign that Spring is here! That patterned paper is gorgeous peaking out from your main panel. I LOVE that stamp set and bought some of the patterned paper too. Have not even looked at it since it arrived ... shame on me! xx

    Such a wonderful, delicate focal image. Sadly we don't get snowdrops here! Fabulous representation of Spring Flowers. So glad you joined us at the paper Players this week

    What a lovey snowdrop card, Susan! Love that the snowdrop's soothing colors are echoed in the dp, and the vertical line of the image is echoed in the sentiment!!

    What a perfect portrait of springtime, Susan! Your floral designs always reflect your love of gardening. I love that sweet vase of snowdrops, brilliantly watercolored, and that peek-a-boo bit of DSP is sensational! Looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday! Hugs, Darnell
