This card was created with a very special woman in mind–someone facing a difficult journey with courage and grace. As I designed it, my hope was to send more than just a message, but a feeling–one of strength, encouragement, and quiet hope in her favourite colour–yellow.
Hello friends,
Here we are in the middle of April already and just like we expected here in southern Ontario, the temperatures are cold, warm with a few hot days tucked in between. The saying, “April showers bring May flowers” holds true.

- Using Daffodil Delight stamp the sunflower out.
- Using Black Memento, stamp the words beside the sunflower.
