Daffodils

Welcome to my stop on this month's From the Heart Stamps blog hop.

This time, we're having a 'Celebrate Birthdays' theme.
Each designer has made a card which represents their own birth month.
Can you guess mine?
*hint* the daffodil is the national flower of Wales, and is worn on a very special Welsh day.

This time we have a fun game for you all, with the chance of winning yourself a $15 voucher to spend in the FTHS store. All details of how you can take part can be found on the FTHS blog, and all you have to do is guess each designers birthday month ;)
We've also got an extra crafty challenge for you to take part in... We'd love for you to make a birthday card using an image from the FTHS store, and then add the link to your card over at the blog for a chance of winning a $10 voucher to spend in store. You have until 3rd January to link up your card.
Of course, as is usual for our blog hops, each DT member will randomly pick one commenter to win a FTHS image of their choice too.
Faith is so generous isn't she?


If you have arrived here from Imke, you are in the right place. If you haven't, why don’t you start at the From the Heart Stamps blog, so you don’t miss anything. The full hop list is there too.

Here's my card...


I printed the flower heads twice more, so that I could layer them up slightly, though you can't see that in the photo.
I kept the design simple because I wanted these beautiful flowers to be the star of the show.

Supplies:
Image: Daffodils
Colouring medium: Promarkers
Sentiment: 'Bring on the cake' stamp set by Stampin Up
Die cut frame: Spellbinders 'Elegant Ovals'
Paper/Card: My Mind's Eye (Stella & Rose, Mabel), & kraft card stock.


I'd like to enter this card at:
Craft Your Passion - anything goes
Papertake Weekly - anything goes
Seize The Birthday - anything goes (no topping)

Now, please head over to Karen's blog to see her fantastic cards for this hop.

I hope that you enjoy hopping with us today.
The hop will end on Monday, December 7th at 6am EST (11am UK time).
Winners will be posted on the From the Heart Stamps Blog on Wednesday, December 9th.
Good luck, and happy hopping! xx
