Are clouds really lonely?

Hi everyone!

Today is the start of a new Outlawz Sunday Song & Rhyme Challenge located HERE. This challenge will run for 2 weeks, ending February 18th

This fortnights challenge was selected by Theresa

My card is inspired by the lines “I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;


But I could not have just one lonely cloud! I also pulled in the yellow and the idea of flowers with my design paper

Supplies, 5 x 7
  • Cardstock from The Paper Studio (base) and American Crafts
  • Design Paper from The Angel Company
  • Dies from Close to My Heart (Party Banners)
  • Image from Unity Stamps (Clouded by Cuteness)

  • Sequins from Gina K Designs
