It has taken me a long time to shake off the virus despite having all my jabs - I know for many symptoms are mild but there are others like me who have been really poorly.
I have tested negative for the last 5 days but still have a cough which I am told may be with me for several weeks yet 😖. At least I am feeling a little more human!
We had a couple of days of lovely weather and I thought Spring had arrived - then we suddenly had overnight frosts, very strong winds, rain and plummeting daytime temperatures.
It's really cold here at the mo and those few spring flowers which are out are probably regretting showing their faces.
This spring offering was simply made from left over bits of cardstock, using this lovely Alexander Renke Crocus die which has become one of my all time faves.
A quick and simple card that didn't tax me too much!
I have been AWOL from the Playground - keeping my germs to myself - but I am poking my nose through the gates with this make!
Thanks for stopping by - I hope all is well with you in your part of blogland. x

Thanks for the update on your Covid symptoms and so glad you are on the mend but take it easy Viv x. Exactly the same weather our end x. What a pretty card and I love how you've loosely watercoloured those fabulous crocus x. One very beautiful card Viv x.
Love your beautiful crocus Spring card Viv and I love the die cut on the corners….a lot of my crafting friends are still having trouble getting back into crafting including me…hoping your cough won’t hand around for too long and you start to feel ‘normal’ again..,
Take care

Lovely to see you in the Playground and pleased to hear you are beginning to feel a bit better after getting Covid. This really is a very pretty card and I'm loving the die, very Springlike. The weather doesn't seem to be able to make up its mind - a few milder and sunny days a couple of weeks ago and since then really changeable with a bit of everything, heavy frost, cold winds, rain and a bit of sunshine but definitely chilly in general. Take care and I hope you continue to improve.
Aww Viv . . . sooo glad you're out of the woods and are feeling better, if not fully fit yet.
What a lovely piece of homework you've submitted to the Snippets Playground. Gorgeous dies and lovely colouring.
Now, let me see what I've got in my satchel that's good for coughs! Hmmm, I have some lemon and honey . . . and a little snifter of whisky . . . that should see you right!

What a lovely way to bring Spring into your craft room, Viv! This is so pretty ... I can see why these crocus dies are your fav. They are so sweet and a great way to say Spring is here. Love the intricate die-cut at the top of the card. Take care sweet friend. Hope you are feeling more like yourself soon! xx
Fabulous card Viv, a really beautiful design.
Pleased to hear that you are feeling a bit more human, but remember to keep taking it easy until you are fully recovered. xx
That's really pretty Viv, I love that die too. Spring is coming back although quite slowly I think.
I'm glad you're feeling a bit better and hope your cough soon clears up x
A beautiful card Viv, I love the soft colours. So glad you are feeling a little better now
Oh gosh Viv- so sorry you are still suffering! Scary stuff out there still! Hope you feel better each day - what beautiful Crocus so wonderfully water colored!
glad to hear you're feeling a smidge better ♥
Great little snowdrop card, my favourite winter flowers xx
I’m pleased that you’re finally on the mend Viv. Your card is an absolute stunner, so beautiful. Wishing you a happy week ahead xx
A very pretty card Viv that really says spring! Glad you are feeling a bit better. Take care xx
I'm glad you are feeling better, Viv. You have "planted" a beautiful Spring garden of crocuses, my friend! A beautiful card!
I hate to hear the cough is still hanging on and hope it keeps getting less and less. Your card is beautiful. I love the background and the spring colors are so pretty.
What a beautifully designed and executed card. Love the soft colours of your spring flowers. I am desperately hoping that things will warm up this week. I completely understand your issue with competing priorities, especially at this time of year. I am so sorry that the Covid hit you so hard, it is a shame that it is impossible to know how any individual will react to it. We are still staying very close to home for that very reason, but it is getting hard xx
Your card is lovely, and I'm sure it took a lot of effort considering your health! It's a pretty crocus, and will make it's presence known at The Playground.
Hope you're much improved soon!
Sorry to hear you’ve been really rough with Covid. Hope you bounce back soon. Love your card - it’s so pretty!
I like this coloring style very much, as well as the added splatter. A beautiful spring card.
So pleased to read that you're well on the mend Viv. What a stunning cards - as always! LOVE how you coloured the die cut.
Hugs

Oh Viv I'm so sorry to hear that you have been so ill... I've not been around much so I'm trying to catch up. I love your pretty card, the colours are fabulous and I love the freestyle painting.
Wishing you better days and I hope you soon feel back to your old self
