Or a daffy-dil? ha! Hello my Doodlebugs friends! Michele here at my silliest again! But seriously - what is the difference between a Daffodil and a Narcissus? My search on the internet answered my question: the IS NO difference! To top it all off they are also called Jonquils! OY!
I had a really soothing take-my-own-sweet-time water coloring session with the gorgeous Build-a-Flower: Narcissus layering set from Altenew recently. All I can say is I went with my memory of those growing in my mom's garden when I was a kid. She never once got mad at me for picking a little bouquet for our neighbor! Such a beautiful first look at Spring!
The perfect sentiment was found in the same set!

This may be your most beautiful floral EVER, Michele! I remember I planted ones just like that the fall before Dana was born, but sadly, we never got to see them bloom! Such gorgeous colors and coloring! You're the ace!
ReplyDeleteI agree with LeAnne. I think this is the best ever! You remember the colors so well and transferred that memory perfectly!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done -- the layering is such an elevation.
ReplyDeleteGlorious! Mine are budding, but no blooms yet! Absolute fabulous job, Michele
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job of watercoloring, Michele. I can really lose track of time when I start watercoloring. I need to get back to it.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic, Michele. Your watercoloring skills are top notch. I admire your patience and talent. Lucky is the recipient of this beauty!
ReplyDeleteI so love this design where one flower is die cut and placed with the one that is not. Such depth and beauty. I love your color choices, as usual, and your splatter fest is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of the above Michele and think this is truly one of your best masterpieces EVER!! Your water coloring is just FABULOUS on your Daffodils (they'll always be Daffodils to me!) and this whole card just screams Spring and I love, LOVE it!! :0)
ReplyDeleteYour daffodils are beautiful, Michele! Love the colors you've masterfully watercolored them in! This brings back memories of drinking in the spring flowers on my walks with Max : )
ReplyDeleteYou had me scratching my head Michele, because I thought that a daffodil and a narcissus was the same....only to find out they are the same. LOL Which is what I thought! And yours are stunning! Your watercoloring...oh my gosh, it is just amazing looking, which doesn't surprise me at all. Love this card! It is stunning! I was awful as a child for picking flowers that didn't belong to me, but as a child it was considered cute. Trouble was it followed me into teen/young adulthood. And then it got me yelled at. LOL I was always picking flowers....but have learned to only pick my own now. LOL Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteTee hee, funny title... but, wow, your watercolor! Gorgeous stamp and colors. A droolworthy creation!
ReplyDeleteYour watercolored Daffodils/Narcissus/Jonquils are absolutely beautiful, Michele! Love how you layered the die-cut flower and the leaf!
