Spring Daffodils

Spring is definitely in the air.  The birds are singing every morning and the temps are getting warmer.  Yesterday was a beautiful Easter Sunday, we even went for along walk.  Although I have not seen any flowers as yet, the Stems are pushing out of the soil.  Soon!
I made this card for several challenges, here is it.

The ingredients are:
GKD heavy Ivory card stock
Avery Elle Sorbet collections
SU yellow card stock with Swiss Dots embossing folder and Distressed ink, mustard seed,  sponged on the edge
Spellbinder dies, Pendant, and Labels One
PTI die, Bookmark
Power Poppy Dancing Daffodils digital image
Sentiment is from Power Poppy Azalea set
Colored with Pentech colored pencils
Judy Dots   
 
 
 
I also wanted you to see the inside.  Because this is a digital image, I was able to make it different sizes.  I also found that if I used the grid on my cameo machine, I could take out parts of the image. 
 
 
In this card, I only wanted the blue flowers on the bottom and after doing that, I increased the size.  Then I colored them and fussy cut them out to put on the inside with a greeting.
This card will be entered in these challenges.

That's it. This card took me awhile to make, but I think it was worth it.
Thanks for the comments, as always, they are much appreciated.
