Celebrate Spring-Sketch Daisy Card

I recently purchased the Sketch Daisy Memory Box Die and of course I had to use it right away.  This is what I came up with.

I started with some watercolor paper and using some pinks and yellow distress inks I created a color for the flower petals to be cut from. I used Pistachio for the leaves.

I then cut another piece of watercolor paper to about 4" X 5".  I then used placed some distress inks  on my Craft Mat and spritzed with water. I laid my watercolor paper on top of the colored inks and moved it around to create the background for my card.

I cut the outline of the daisy out of some white paper.  I adhered everything to the background with some Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive.  I purposely didn't line the flowers up perfectly to create a little more interest.  I cut the finished background with the largest Oval Die from Memory Box and adhered it to a white card stock base.

My card base is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2".  Before adhering the oval background to my card I stamped my Sentiment Celebrate Spring using some Wilted Violet distress ink.  To finish the card, I rounded the corners with my Corner Chomper.  Thanks for visiting.

 

Celebrate Spring

Spring has finally arrived and I decided to make a card to celebrate that fact. Here is what I have for you today.

My card base is 4 1/4" X 5 1/2". I added a black mat cut at 4 1/8" X 5 3/8". The pink patterned paper is cut at 4" X 5 1/4". I then cut another black mat at 3 1/2" X 4 3/4". The smaller patterned paper piece is cut at 3 1/4" X 4 1/2". Both patterned papers come from the Olive Collection which is a Anna Griffin 6" X 6" Paper Pad that I got through Cutters Creek. I after adhere the larger mats together and the smaller mats together, I adhered the first two mats to my card base using my ATG gun. I then used some foam squares to pop up the smaller mats. I pulled out an old Cricut cartridge and cut my poppy from the Storybook Cartridge. I added some pearls to the middle of the flower and adhered it to my card front also with some foam squares. My sentiment is stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. To finish the card I added 3 more pearls to the lower left hand corner and some white doodle dots to the flower that I added with my white gel pen.
