I made a bg using DO inks in yellows and purples, applying to a craft sheet ,spritzing with water and drying in between colors. I then stamped a square grid bg stamp in purple and sponged around the edges. The crocus are colored with copics and have glossy accents on the flowers. I colored my sesame seeds with a purple ink spray and applied to the card with glossy accents. Fun challenge and boy would I love to get out in my container garden....still too cool here and who knows when we might be able to go to the garden center....????

Brilliant, Polly! Lavender sesames! These little seeds have never looked more beautiful. I LOVE how SCS leads our creativity to places we've not gone before. Love your choice of colors and design, too, and how your sentiment is so fitting to it's meaning.

The seeds are brilliant. You are right on the garden center, might have to go with seeds this year. Growing microgreens in old salad plastics to get my garden fix myself. I like the subtle effect that you have with the DO on a craft sheet.

wow your sesame seeds are much bigger than the ones I've got, maybe i'll make another card with them...I love your beautiful bg great idea to stamp after the DOX, I don't know what a container garden is, maybe a piece of ground you rent or share with others?

Fell in love with this card earlier in the day, Your colors are wonderful and how you kept them clean and not muddy. Painting the seeds....that's clever. Your tulips are fantastic. Wonderful card. Your comment about the garden center had me thinking how the owners of the greenhouses are handling all the unknowns. Hugs TFS
