Hello and welcome! It's time for a new challenge at Allsorts and Lynn is hosting this week. For her optional theme she selected "Add Yellow" which I happen to love, especially this time of the year so it was perfect for me to finally ink up a new to me stamp set.
I didn't plan on making 2 cards but somehow that's how it ended so here they are both using the same stamps - Elegant Spring Florals #623 and Blackbird #530 both by Aall and Create.

And here is the other card I made with the same stamps.
Here I started with a circle die cut mask then inked with
Squeezed Lemonade Oxide ink and also
used a stencil (Circle Explosion). Next I stamped the image and colored with
Faber Castell Polychromos pencils. I stamped "Narcissus" on a scrap piece
and added 3 enamel dots next to it. I
wanted to turn this into a birthday card so I added the Penny Black birthday
sentiment from the set
Sprinkles and Smiles and
Stickles glitter to the bloom. Still
seemed like it needed something else so I got out the Blackbird set and
stamped the birds. Believe it or not but this is when I thougth there was
too much going on now LOL so this is when I decided to finish the above
card. Well, my daughter liked this one more so I decided to show both :) And I can't really say which one I prefer now that I finished both. Which one do you like more?

Both look perfect Spring creations using the beautiful A&C Daffodil Ellie, pushed for a choice just might be the one with the hints of pinky lilac.

Well they're both GREAT cards Ellie. I think if I have a preference it's for the second one because I slightly prefer the yellow & green only colours used, plus I like the clear circle showing off the flowerhead. xxx
Fabulous springtime card, lovely stamp.
Two wonderful card with this lovely stamp. Both so different.
Wow! Amazing cards Ellie. So creative!
Two so beautiful versions of cards with the narcissus, love the smooshing of the first one and the masked circle in the second one that matches the stripe at the bottom! The birds on both are so cute!!

Both gorgeous Spring cards! I love smooshed background and the sentiments. The daffodils look dimensional. Yellow is a favorite color of mine too. It's such a happy color. Thanks for sharing at the Double D, "First Signs of Spring" Challenge.
Gorgeous card, the background is fabulous! Thank you for playing at Dragonfly Dreams Challenge!
Both card versions look so pretty with that stamp and those great backgrounds. I'm hard pressed to choose a favorite because they both look just perfect with the bits of yellow color.
You've created such lovely cards, Ellie. Love the yellow and back colours also. So glad you joined our latest challenge on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog. Good luck, and hope to see you again soon. Lori - DT
