Hello
I hope you're keeping well and managing to deal with this strange world we find ourselves living in.
Rather than waffle on for a bit, I'm going straight over to Nat, who has set the challenge this week for The Daring Cardmakers
The world outside is certainly moving at a pace and we're all having to cope with many things outside of our control.
It's important to find some balance right now and I'm sure many of you are turning to your crafting projects for this.Hopefully this week's dare will brighten your day and someone else's - even if you can't give them your card in person.Your card project needs to have a floral focus this week.Get those flowers front and centre!Whether floral backgrounds, big stand-alone blooms, or dimensional flowers – let's bring the garden indoors.
Get stamping with vibrant inks, use your stencils for blending, crack open your stash of pens, or get your paintbrush at the ready.

I wanted to make something which would be fairly flat for posting, but still appear to have the layers and dimension that I love to use.
I also wanted to use a piece of inked up card created for a different project that I'd just come across again! Perfect colours for a Springtime card

Gorgeous card Kathy, you certainly managed to pack in a lot of "flat" dimension which is always a challenge when posting projects. And the colours.... mmmm, so lush and vibrant!
Fabulous floral card Kathy, you have created lovely depth with the layering - I'm also loving those pretty colours and like myself using a the gorgeous colours of the background you retrieved from your stash... Robyn
