It was my Mum’s birthday earlier this week and this is the card I made her using the gorgeous new Daisy Delight stamp set and co-ordinating Daisy Punch.

I stamped the large ‘daisy’ image twice on Whisper White cardstock using Berry Burst ink and punched both flowers out using the new co-ordinating Daisy Punch. I layered the daisies, one on top of the other, offset to give a full daisy flower and stuck them together with Tombow Liquid Adhesive. I used my Bone Folder to curl the petals adding dimension to the flower. I added one of the sparkly new Gold Faceted Gems to the centre for a bit of bling.

I cut a layer of Chocolate Chip cardstock 5⅛” by 3⅝” and die cut the branch from the Seasonal Layers dies using my Big Shot, making sure that the die was well away from the edges of the panel. I ran a 5” by 3 ½” panel of Whisper White cardstock through the Big Shot with the Petal Burst Embossing Folder and added it to the layer of Chocolate Chip cardstock I had used to die cut the branches. This is a great trick for making the most of our lovely cardstock and no-one will ever know……..except you………. Before adhering the panels I used my WRMK’s Corner Chomper to round the upper right corner of both panels and the card base.

I placed my daisy in the lower left hand corner and added the branches behind, trimming them down until I was happy with the look. I thought it still needed something so rummaged through my spare die cut leaves and found 2 from the Botanical Builders dies cut from Wild Wasabi cardstock and again cut them apart to fill the space around the daisy. When I was happy with the placement I carefully glued everything down using Tombow Liquid Adhesive leaving the flower until last. Finally I stamped the sentiment from the At Home With You stamp set in Berry Burst ink on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and trimmed it out using scissors.

I was really happy with this card but thought I would try making it using a more open embossed background. I chose the new Oh My Stars Embossing Folder and also changed the leaves by stamping the leaf from the Daisy Delight stamp set in 1st and 2nd generation Wild Wasabi ink. Let me know which one you like better.
