something old, something new

Today I’m using a great “old” stamp set (one in the Current catalog Daisy Lane (#149325) it’s coordinating Daisy punches – Daisy (#143713) and Medium Daisy (#149517) and the retiring Classic Label punch (#141491) (so sad to see this one go – it is a perfect punch size for those thin one liners! I started off with a new 2021-2023 In Color for the card stock base – Soft Succulent and used the matching ink I created a tone on tone background.

Next I Embossed the front of the card with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder (#152718) just to give it some additional, subtle depth and dimension.

In Tuxedo Black Memento Ink (#132708) I stamped the large and medium daisy images from the Daisy Lane set onto Basic White cardstock (#159276) (TIP: I pre-cut Basic white cardstock into three sizes and always have on hand half sheets of cardstock cut in the middle at 4 1/4″ and the opposite way cut at 5 1/2″ and then 1/4 sheets of cardstock as well! – makes it easier to create cards with these already pre-cut!)

Using the Crushed Curry (#149014) and Basic White and Daffodil Delight (#141709) Watercolor pencils I colored in the petals and then brushed them with our Water Painters (#151298) It is hard to see the white on the petals but it does soften the harshness of the black ink and tone down the flower!

I punched out my flowers using the Daisy punch (#143713) and the medium Daisy Punch (#149517)

I built my flowers using three flower punches and as I adhered them one on top of the other rotate the flower slightly so the petals alternate and do not sit directly on top of one another. I pulled the top layer away from the other two bottom layers and “fluffed” the flower for some dimension!

I added White Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon (#146912) before adding the flowers to the cardfront.

I added a little bit of wink of Stella (#141897) to the petals and adhered them to the card. I stamped the sentiment from the Daisy Lane stamp set in Soft Succulent and popped it up on Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals (#144108) and added it onto the card!
