I have two cards to share with you featuring the new Daisy Frame product suite. For both cards, I used the Daisy Frame Stamp and Stencil sets. I did not have the coordinating dies, so I fussy cut my images with a sharp pair of scissors, but I have linked the coordinating dies in my product list at the bottom of this post for any who are interested.

To start, I first stamped my images onto a sheet of Neenah Solar White 110lb Card Stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then used the coordinating stencils to add color to my images. I made sure to use large blending brushes so that I didn’t add too much pressure to my ink blending and only had a minimal amount of coverage so that the color was not too saturated.

Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Ink Colors Used:

• Pinks: Bubblegum, Sweets
• Greens: Cabbage, Field
• Yellow: Zest Ink
• ** For the very dark green sections on the leaves, I used a dark green (G28) Copic marker. **

Once I was done fussy cutting my images, I set them aside to work on my card backgrounds. For my darker pink/purple card, I used a 4.25″ x 5.5″ piece of Spellbinders Mulberry Card Stock and heat embossed sections of the same florals I used on my card with Fine Detail White Embossing Powder. I then stamped my sentiment on a small piece of white card stock that I attached to the center of my card. Lastly, I adhere my floral images with 3D foam adhesive tape to frame my sentiment.

I used the same process and colors to stamp and color my florals for my second card. For my card base, I used a 4.25″ x 5.5″ piece of light pink card stock and die cut the center of it with a basic oval die. Next, I ran this piece (the pink card stock with the oval window) through my die cutting machine using the newly released Flower Medley Embossing Folder to get some beautiful 3D textured flowers. To give the flowers some highlights, I lightly rubbed over them with a white ink pad. I did this step twice, allowing the ink to dry in between applications.

I then stamped my sentiment in the center of a 4.25″ x 5.5″ piece of white card stock and layered this piece with my embossed piece so that the sentiment peeked through the oval window in the front of the card. Lastly, I once again added my florals using 3D foam tape for added dimension.
