Crafty Ann's Challenge #33 - Golden Daffoldils

*********************************************


and the theme this fortnight has been chosen by Kym and is 
'Silver, Gold and White'

I chose to use one of Ann's pre-coloured images........these lovely daffodils.........hopefully we'll all be seeing the real thing soon.

I have decoupaged the flowers and they are mounted on to a doily which I 'coloured' with Pentouch silver pen. Underneath this is a circle of silver mirri to give the doily more substance as it was rather flimsy. There is just a tiny bit of  sparkle on the very edge of the doily.
I was reluctant to detract from the daffodils so I embossed plain white paper with the CB  textures folder.



The brad in the centre of the ribbon bow has been given the glamour dust treatment



Finished off with peel-off borders and pretty  corners. A Clean & simple look I think.

I hope you will join us this fortnight and if you want some inspiration pop over to the challenge blog and see the fabulous designs from my DT buddies.

It might be clean and simple Irene but it's also sumptuous - how did you manage that???? Fabulous card.
