A host of daffodils

A good morning to you, I hope you are having a lovely day. Today is the last day DH and I have to ourselves for a while at least. The darlings are due to be picked up from school from tomorrow as their Dad is back to college. Ah well, the house won't be as quiet anymore but the fun those guys bring will be worth it. :)

I've gone on one of my 'use it up' jaunts for today's card and have made another from the beautiful Ooh La La 'Carnival of Colours' CD. I had the sheet of toppers printed out and used one, so I'd another one to hand. Did I tell you that daffs are my favourite flowers? I'm sure I did.

I trimmed the topper down so that I could pop it on top of one of the new doilies I received from Helena aka Pink Thoroughbred  on ebay. Thanks Jan for the heads up! 

I've kept it very simple as the images, to my mind, do not need a lot of embellishing. I think for that reason I find this CD so pleasant to work with, it's quick and it's very easy to make a lovely card with no fuss or bother. All the papers are from the CD.

I opened the pyramid toppers page in Paint Shop Pro and cropped one of the smaller images which I then copied to a new page. I selected the image, copied it again and printed them out on a spare piece of photo paper.

This provided me with the little insert pic and one for the back of the card as well.

I used the rest of the printed backing papers for the insert to complement the front of the card.

The sentiment is from Craftwork cards and is matted onto a punched gold mirri oval. (Stamping Up oval punch works a treat with these sentiments).

Now you mustn't laugh. Promise!! The bow was made on my new Bowdabra and when I removed it from the gadget it looked for all the world like a wee butterfly. I trimmed the ends and decided it was going to do the trick - hence a ribbon butterfly as an embellie. 

Have you stopped laughing yet??? Perhaps it's only in the eye of the beholder who made it. :) LOL
I've entered this one into the OLL Challenge #97 'Seeing Double' Fingers crossed!

Thanks so much for stopping by today. Have a good one and I'll see you soon.
