A Crown of Daffodils


Hello Friends!  We’ve just come back from a week away visiting some of our US family for our niece’s graduation.   It was the first time some of our us have been out of the country in 2 1/2 years.  It was really fun, and now I have the typical mound of laundry, plants that need planting, garden beds that need weeding....and host of other things to do!  

But before I left I created this pretty design with a newly released set from Power Poppy!  It’s called Sketches of Spring Volume I.  Just look at what a beauty it is!  I’m growing in appreciation for daffodils in the past few years.  I’m generally a tulip lover, but the uniqueness and variety of daffodils that are now available are really gorgeous.  Marcy illustrated several different varieties here of narcissus and daffodils and paired them with Viridiflora Tulips and Pointed Petal Fritillary.  I coloured up the bouquet with Copics, and finished off the details with prismacolor pencils.  


I’ve added a little die cut “crown” as accent to the design.  Did you know the popped up centers of daffodils are called coronas?  And you are probably aware with the pandemic that corona means crown....I like this version of crown much better.   A couple of clear holeless sequins add a touch of sparkle.  The sentiment is from the Power Poppy polymer set Simply Camellias.  

This set is one of many on sale right now at Power Poppy in The Blossom Challenge Digis.  And you still have just over 2 weeks left to join us in the new Blossom Challenge going on at the store.  Be sure to create a design and you could win a prize to the Power Poppy store!  More details HERE!   

Appreciate your visit!

It's a beauty for sure and, as always, your coloring is spectacular. Lovely coordination with the patterned paper, too.
