I saw this flower card by Shari Carroll and CASE’d it. I l really liked the simple LO :-)

I used a Unity ‘Sending My Love’ set and coloured with copics. The pink card was plain white, coloured with a pink copic marker and I used some chevron design paper from an Amy Tangerine Sketchbook pack. I added a tiny punched butterfly using a Martha Stewart 3 in 1 butterfly punch.

I know that by now you will have hopped around the world visiting so many FABULOUS and SUPER talented designers ! To be honest when I saw the line up for this hop I was quaking in me flip flops !! :-)

I chose to showcase this gorgeous Fresh Daisies die, so pretty !!

I made 2 cards to show the die as the focus of a card and as an embellishment :-)

There are 11 dies in the series and you can see them all HERE :-)

I made the first one using the lovely papers and sentiment stamp that came with the July Card Kit.

I cut out several daisies, using the Fresh Daisies die, and made a mask on some white neenah card. I then sprayed with my copic air brush and a BG00 marker to create the background. I then cut out 2 more from the neenah card and coloured them with copics. I trimmed the die cut so I had 3 flowers and I used my Mc Gill Tool Kit and Moulding Mat to ‘round’ them. I used a Grand Calibur and Grand Oval Nestibilities to make the frame and used a Circle Border Die to cut the red paper ( from the kit) to make to make the background strip. I made a butterfly using Memory Box Kaleidoscope and Moonlight die and I finished with a few Robins Nest Dew Drops and some Hemptique twine.

Next up ,,,, well ,,, I just HAD to use a House Mouse stamp !! This is called Throwing Daisy Petals ,,,, PERFECT !!!! :-)

I coloured with copics and inked the edges with Stormy Sky Distress Ink. The papers are from Lawn Fawn and I used a lovely doily from the June Card Kit. I embossed some whitewash coredinations in a new Whimsy M-Bossibilities folder I used the Simon Says Exclusives Fresh Daisies die to cut out plaon white card and coloured with copics. I finished with some purple polka dot washi tape and I used a MFT Die-Namics Button Quartet die to make the button. I finished with some Hemptique twine and Hero Arts Gems.
