A Blue Daisy

Welcome

I have been loving the current trend of spotlighting with an inlaid die cut, and was inspired to make this card using a sketch challenge as my starting point.


The daisy stamp is from a Stampin' Up set, Infinite Goodness, and I coloured the images in the spotlight with Prismacolor pencils


My circle dies are not stitched, so I added faux stitching.


The sentiment is from Rubbadubbadoo Stamps (a New Zealand Company),
and silver embossed.

I love how this card turned out, and am linking it to:

I really like this version of the inlaid die cut to spotlight something. This is way nifty!

About my always tidy workdesk--I pick things up all the time because I have these CATS who try to craft when I'm not looking. They aren't so gentle with supplies.
