The Crafty Purple Frog ~ St Davids Day.

Today I have another DT make for you this one is for 

The Crafty Purple Frog Challenge

This fortnights challenge is:

"St Davids Day"

So Yellow and Green is the name of the game and Daffodils too if you want too.

{I was going to use Daffodils instead of Roses but like most things you can never find them when you want them, I suppose this is what happens when you collect and collect. }

Regardless of that I think this makes the perfect Mothering Sunday card for either my Mum

 or my Muva {that's M.I.L to most people} I know both will love the yellow.

I've used Green Dragonfly Decoupge Sheet and
Spring Florals Paper pack both from

 The Crafty Purple Frog. I think the paper's compliment the image perfectly.

Roses from Wild orchid Crafts, Ribbon from eBay, Bazzill Cardstock and Stickle's "Crystal Ice".
