Less is More announced yellow and green as the theme, so straight away I thought Daffodils, and then One Layer Simplicity announced use water. yes! I could do that. (although just read the one layer simplicity challenge again, and it specifically says to use water to create a background or spritz your inked stamp, so this card probably doesn't qualify - it's okay, the kind people at the challenge have allowed it.... and even edited the challenge to include the technique :D. )
I used distress inks and a water brush to colour this daffodil stamp from The frantic stamper.
And that's a mothers' day card sorted!
Beautiful daffodil card & so appropriate for St David's day!
