Aww this is such a cheerful card! It also looks very crisp.
I’m going to use a felt circle in the middle instead of cardstock, for a little extra texture. (Plus, I have about a million of those lying around, hehe.)

Mary, I love seeing your inspiration photos and your card creations! It’s a fun way to look at the world 🙂 You are very good at it! Concord Crush is great…so glad it will be around another year.
I LOVE these! And another great tutorial. Thanks!
Nice cards, Mary. Thanks for your one minute to wow tip. I’ve been wondering how that was done.
LOVE that two-tone sentiment on the left card. Those colors are so vivid and happy!
That Concord Crush is fabulous behind the white and Daffodil! These are super cute!
Bright and cheery, with a double dose of cute!
Nice bold colours!
