I found a gelli print I made a few months ago that would fit the bill for today's challenge as it was printed on an old thesaurus page. I colored and fussy cut the crocus and added a tiny bit of stickles for sparkle. The frame was cut with 2 different nesties (and I noticed today that my Cuttlebug has a huge crack in it! Guess I'll be on the search for a new one..was bound to happen..I've used it a lot!). This will be my last Easter card. I've already sent the rest...I'll be hand delivering this one ;)

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?

I have never thought to use a printed page on the gelli, Polly! Thanks for a brilliant idea and I just love it as a backdrop for your beautiful flower! Beautiful framing!

Beautiful card. I love the first signs of spring, and what better sign, than crocus popping out of the snow, to say hello. Love the frame, and your crocus is colored beautifully. Fave. tfs.

Pretty crocus. Crocus don't do too well here - probably not cold enough. Believe me I have tried - he he. Love the gelli print background and the delicate frame.

Beautiful background with the camouflaged printing! The crocus are so pretty. I don't get to see them in person any more so I love seeing them here as I do miss them a lot!

Just beautiful, Polly. You rock with your gelli plate....my gelli plate has been banished to the penalty box. The flowers look so terrific against the gelli background and the fun die cut frame.
