One of the things I loved most about living in England was the flowers. I think gardening is England's national pastime, so in January I would see some snowdrops, February brought crocuses (croci), March was all about the daffodils, April was for tulips, May was purple with lilacs, and June brought out all the roses for June weddings. And those are just the flowers I saw in my daily walks around our tiny village. So I decided to make a trio of CAS spring cards for today:
I really liked how my shamrock card turned out for the Nacho blog hop, so I did the same kind of thing on these three. I don't have current SU! stamps that look like the specific flowers I was going for, so I just used the colors of each to inspire my Flower Patch flowers.
This one is inspired by a crocus, all beautiful deep purple with a bright yellow or orange center. I love that Bonjour, Beautiful stamp from Happy Happenings...originally I was going to do different sentiments on each card but I liked that one so much I just stuck with it :)
This one is my daffodil card, bright yellow with an orange center. In March, daffs would spring up all over the village, even a few in my yard--and I can't keep plants alive for anything so you know they're pretty hardy if they survived being in my yard.
And last up is my tulip. We went to Amsterdam one year to see the tulips, and let me tell you they come in an absolute rainbow of colors and they're all gorgeous. But I decided to go with a pink and rosy red tulip for this card.
There you have it, my spring flower cards. Hope you enjoyed them :) I'm off once again to walk my doglets. Cheers, peeps!

Yesssss, we're seeing the flowers out here. We're getting more and more bluebonnets. LOVE IT!!! The wind is whipping things around and the grasses around the bluebonnets undulate in the gusts. It's quite entertaining.
LOVE your cards. I am SO READY for spring!!!
