Pink Daisies

Welcome

This is another CASE from a magazine, using the dies and stamps that came with it - I used the concept of the two rows of daisies, and the two layers of petals, (rather than the one layer I used here), but then  I diverged to my own design.


I embossed the background using the enclosed embossing folder, but as the design on the folder was only on one end, I turned the paper and partially ran it through again.. 
(The original was not embossed)


I used my own colour scheme, and I added the double fishtail ends to the banner.  
Loved that wee bird and had to include it!


I layered the daisy cuts as shown, but added a glitter layer for some extra glam!
I also popped the final snippets of the dark card that I used for the flower centres under the opposing corners to add some interest and definition to the layering. 


The inside was finished with white card and washi tape.

I am linking this to:

(Serendipity as the design evolved as I made this card)

  10. This is lovely Maxine. I like the combination of glitter and non-glitter petals. The pieces of flower centre coloured cardstock in the corners really pulls the card together.

  19. This is a pretty birthday card Maxine. I love the daisy done both ways, one layer and two layers. Great color combo, love the embossing and I think it is so dang cute that the bird is carrying the sentiment banner. Hugs, Brenda

  20. Such a lovely card Maxine - and the glitter certainly does work on here. My favourite has to be the wee bird holding the banner as she flies across the front of the card.
    Blessings, Neet xx
