I chose daisies as we have these in the garden at the moment peeping up in the lawn and I love seeing them there as they brighten it up so much.
I decided to make a bright background as we definitely need something cheery with the horrible cold weather we have at the moment - my winter woollies are back on!
I made my background paper by applying yellow shades of VersaColor cube inks direct to paper on white linen card and then stamped on the lovely daisy by B Line Designs with VersaFine Spanish Moss ink, stamping once on scrap paper first for a muted effect. I then added more yellow ink around the edges and added the paper to a kraft card blank.
I stamped the daisies on white card and embossed them with gold powder then cut them out. I made a border of kraft card trimmed with a Martha Stewart deep edge punch and added this with some crochet lace.
I die cut a circle of kraft card and embossed this with the Cuttlebug polka dots folder and added to the card with a doily and woodcut butterfly. I finished off with an Anitas sentiment die cut to a circle.
The Design Team have made some fabulous inspiration for you so do hop on over for a peep.

Hi Fliss, gorgeously bright and cheerful, loving that daisy stamp and the scallop border, so pretty. Have a good bank holiday Monday. xx
Lovely card, the flowers are very pretty. It's back to winter woollies here, too! I planted flowers in my balcony boxes, but up till now they are just sprouting grass and daisies! Oh well, better than nothing! Have a good week! Hugs, Valerie
