Posted on November 18, 2023November 17, 2023 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Stamping Inkspirations Blog Hop where we have a picture/colour challenge to work with today. I really wanted to use the new abundant beaty masks today but they have sadly been out of stock in Europe so I have made my card using the lovely Cheerful Daisies stamp set and dies.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the cheerful daisy flowers card, you will need:

Crumb Cake card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Early Espresso card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card- 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner – for the inside
Scrap Basic White card

Using a Blending Brush and the Artistic Mix Masks I blended Crumb Cake ink onto the 5⅜” by 3⅝” panel of Basic White card to add texture to the background.

The outline of the large and small daisies were stamped in Early Espresso ink onto scrap Basic White card. The infill of the largest daisies were stamped in Crushed Curry ink and the smaller daisies with Azure Afternoon ink. The centres were added in Crumb Cake and/or Early Espresso ink. The flowers were then die cut using the Cheerful Daisies Dies. The leaves were stamped in Granny Apple Green ink and die cut using the same dies.
