For this first card I opted for the daffodil (although I think I used the tulip leaf!) and I die cut and decoupaged the flower and leaves using the solid and outline stamps together. I stamped the jar onto the card and shaded lightly before adding the flower on top and finishing with another jar die cut from acetate. The sentiment is from the Crafts Meow. I added some yellow washi for a pop of spring brightness.
For the second card I suspect I used the daffodil leaves with the tulip heads! Anyhow, this time I stamped them direct to the card except for the middle one which is cut using the die so I could position it lower on the stem. The jar was stamped over and coloured with copics before adding glossy accents and glitter. The sentiment is another from the same set by Crafts Meow. As this one has the added sparkle, I'm also entering it into this weeks cupcake craft challenge http://cupcakecraftchallenges.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/cupcake-232-sparkle.html
These are both gorgeous Tara - a simple jar of flowers always reminds me of Mothers day. I like the way you coloured the top jar but the sparkly one is lovely too. Vicky x
