Easter Blessings

We have a few more daffodils showing off their pretty yellow this week.  A bit of snow in the forecast might just make them wish they had kept their shiny faces under cover a bit longer!  I just can't resist coloring these fun images and adding them to an all white background...  Hopefully, the sunny blossoms in my yard won't have to contend with a white and cold background tomorrow...

You see a few more layers this week and a bunch of dimensional foam!  I love to make my images and layers stand out...

ODBD ~ Jingle All the Way ~

Good morning and welcome to my weekly inspiration post for Our Daily Bread Designs.  Today, my project features a beautiful image from the November release, Jingle Bell Time.  I also incorporated the fun Snowflake Sky Die and Snowflake Season Paper Collection.  AND I added a fun bow...  I must admit I need more practice!  :-(

Usually, I am pretty good about writing down my Copic colors but somehow this gem got off the crafting table without revealing the marker combos...  ***sigh***  I think I am a bit rattled as of late...  Until next time...  blessings!!!
