Hi there! It's time for another fabulous sketch from Mercy! I used my all time favorite Papertrey set, Year of Flowers: Daffodils (AGAIN!). I ADORE this set and I especially love to paper piece the daffodil! I'm not sure I'm in love with my patterned paper choices, but I do like the card. I used three different patterns from the Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety pack. I paired it with some Kraft and Vintage Cream cardstock!
Don't forget to check out the Muse's blogs for some more awesome inspiration with this sketch!
