FMS135 - spring thank you

Hello! Here is my take on this week's Freshly Made Sketch. I've also added in the Spring Flowers challenge over at Simon Says Stamps.

I think my head or body was slightly tilted when I took
the picture of this card.

Sentiment is from Flourishes. Oval nesties used to cut it out and the yellow layer behind.

I used the fresh daisy die from Simon Says Stamp to create the flowers. I cut them out several times using light yellow cardstock and doubled them up using tiny foam tape. I did add a bit of ink to the edges to highlight them a bit. The leaf die is from Memory Box.

Designer paper has been in my stash for at least 10 years and I have no idea who makes it. It's a 6 x 6 pad that I've had stuck together with a binder clip because I lost the cover to it.  Does that ever happen to you? I think I need to clean out my designer paper cupboard, or at least organize it a bit.

ETA: just saw that the challenge over at Addicted to CAS is off the edge and since I'm off the edge on the leaf...

Thanks for stopping by!

    Extra special card Laurie. It certainly fits the sentiment to a tee.
    Very soft and personal.

    I missed this on my earlier visit and just saw over at ATCAS that you had submitted it in the Off the Edge challenge! It's perfect for that and I thank you for playing! It is such a charming card, Laurie! Hugs, Darnell
