Spring Has Sprung at Flourishes


  Hard to believe it is time for another Flourishes Release week challenge.. This month we have a color challenge for you...Let's see some signs of spring in your creations for this challenge! Use a little robin's egg blue, some green grass with a dash of daffodil.

SunflowerCloseup

I chose the Sunflowers set along with the Seeds Of Friendship for my creation today.  I have been busy getting my garden ready and my son and I always plant sunflower seeds.  He loves watching them grow way above his head.. I watercolored my sunflowers and cut them out.. Then I popped them up on my seed packet.  
The checked ribbon is from Maya Road. The button is Basic Grey-Olivia...

    Absolutely gorgeous! I love sunflowers too, except the bugs, birds, and squirrels usually destroy them and take away their beauty, then I don't want to grow them.

    The sunflower is just watercolored so beautifully and I love how you used it with the Seeds of Friendship. Absolutely gorgeous!!

    We were in the 90's (low) over the weekend and worked in the flower beds..cleaning out and putting new pine needles in the back yard. What an enjoyable time.

    Dawn, what beautiful mother's day cards you conjured up for us. I have to say that my fave is the last one because it has sunflowers on it and that reminds me of Soelah, my dear sister. She would make sure to plant sunflowers in front of the house every spring and the neighbors were all amazed at how high they would grow being that was the only flowers on our front lawn. He, he, he!

    I hope you are well my dear and know that you are always the sweet little smiling friend I love to visit. Maybe someday in real life. We could go out walking, while the girls have coffee. LOL

    Hugs, Peggy
