I started by partially stenciling the background. I used a soft green, which compliments the pretty daffodils. These flowers are watercoloured with distress inks and then I added a simple sentiment on the front with more inside.

Gorgeous, I love daffodils and this shows them off so beautifully. Love the stencilling too. x
I love daffodils too. This is such a beautiful card. The daffodils look great against the soft stencilling on part of the background.
Any son that requests a specially made card and rights the sentiment is A++ to me!
Such a beautiful card, Loll, that completely fits the bill!

Your card is lovely, and your friend will be thankful! The stenciling really does complement the flowers and makes a perfect landing spot for the sentiment. Beautiful painting
I love your cards, my dear Loll, when you use stenciling in the background. I adopted this technique from you because I think it's a wonderful way to enhance a card. Your daffodils are gorgeous, very spring-like, like little suns. The wonderful coloring makes the card so joyful.

Your daffodils are so bright and pretty, Lolly! I love the stenciling too! Your friend's mother will be delighted!
What a perfect title for these sweet daffs, so perfectly shaded, Lolly! And I'm loving how you used the stencil in the corner to keep your design CAS! You will make your friend's mom very, very happy with this keepsake card! Love, Dolly
Your Daffodils are beautifully water colored Loll, and I love the partial stenciling in the lower corner too! CAS and just perfect my friend...the mom of your friend is going to LOVE this!! Hugs. :0)
Beautiful card with those lovely daffodils and your stenciled background Loll. Love it. I bet that sentiment inside is special for your friend's mom.
That is going to be one happy mom! This is so very pretty, Loll. The stenciling grounds the flowers perfectly. Thanks for sharing this with us at Just Us Girls!
Love the soft stencilled background Loll, it really sets off those pretty blooms. I still have a few late daffs flowering in the garden but the rest have been and gone for another year. :)
Beautiful and so well done!
