 My card this morning , for this very special Monday at Make it Monday


Card and paper from SU .Coloured with various markers and the sentiment is so old the name has worn off the block sorry . I could have made the flowers brighter I know but I wanted the focus to  be on the image .
I have used one of the fantastic Digi images from this week's sponsor .
Sniffing Daisys , from ..



You will find an exciting   range of Digi images over at Delicious Doodles. There is something there for all occassions.
