When I first saw this daffodil image I was thrilled and the excitement has not faded one bit. This is such a gorgeous image, I had to showcase it by itself. I recently read a brief article on mixing colors. I used the author's idea about using a gallon, a pint and an ounce. My husband came upstairs to my craft room as I was working on this card with a slice of homemade Roasted Garlic Bread. When I told my husband about the gallon-pint-ounce theory, he thought I was nuts. He said, "Paint? But didn't you color that the other night?". I replied, "Yes, dear and I would love to have another slice of that bread. Some things you can only tell your crafty friends!!! Thanks for listening gals!
