Daisies

Okay, it's April 17th and it snowing!  We are suppose to get between 7 and 8 inches of snow tomorrow!  Hello, has anyone told Mother Nature it's Spring?  Last week it was 74 deg. then snowed 3 inches the next day.

Well, these are the only daisies popping up in Iowa.  I just love this Flourishes set.  This was made for a Splitcoast color challenge.

I've done acetate before, I had a lot of trouble with this one, but it photographed beautifully.
I have however dismantled it and put it on cardstock. It just wouldn't stand up right or open all the way. 
 
I colored this Gerber Daisies set with Prisma Pencils then I used my Copic BV08 to darken the purple. The Marianne die cut is just a corner die that I used to make a square.
 
Happy Spring everyone!!

What a beauty, Gail. Those daisies are on a beautiful die.

Hope your weather is improving. What a cool, rainy Spring in my part of the country. I'm ready for 95 degree weather. LOL
