Floral Double

I finally made it to my craft shop today and managed to get some white cardstock, hurrah.  But I was gutted to learn that they're closing soon, gone the way of the usual high street shops.  It's such a shame, they've been in Belfast for over 30 years!

I coloured up a couple of these MFT flowers the other night while there was rubbish on the TV ... namely Dr Who!  That would have been an hour lost from my life, so I was glad I actually had something to show for my time ;)

I've gone back to my beloved polychromos for these - I think of the pair I prefer the pink one

Love the square card! The yellow flower is colored so pretty and the gold embossing is the perfect touch. Thank you for sharing with AHSC.

These are both beautiful, Lynne, but I think I prefer the pink one, too. Your shading on those flower petals is perfect!

That's a glorious bloom Lynne and I really can't decide which colourway I prefer but if pushed perhaps the yellow as it reminds me Spring will come along soon. Many thanks for sharing your pretty card and joining in with our 'Feminine' theme at Penny Black and More challenge.

These are both lovely; the pink is pretty and soft while the yellow really pops and seems cheerful, like Brenda, reminds me of springtime. Thank you so much for playing along with the Penny Black and More challenge.
