Pot of Daisies for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Posted on December 29, 2021January 4, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we have a sketch challenge and I have chosen to make a pot of daisies card using the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the pot of daisies card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Friendly Hello dsp – 5⅞” by 2”
Mossy Meadow card – 5⅞” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 1¾”
Mossy Meadow card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 2¾” by 2¾”

I adhered the piece of Friendly Hello dsp to the bottom of the Thick Basic White card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful watercoloured, sending hugs card made using the Batik Beauty stamp set Stampin’ Up! products

Next, I added Pale Papaya ink to the small panel of Basic White using a Blending Brush. I had tried a panel of Pale Papaya but the colour was too bright and I wanted something more muted. However, I felt the inked panel was to wishy-washy so I ended up stamping the group of daisies across the inked panel in 2^nd generation Pale Papaya ink. I liked this as it gave the subtle texture I was looking for. The panel was then adhered above the dsp panel leaving about ¼” between the two pieces. The strip of Mossy Meadow card was adhered down to cover the edges of both the dsp and the inked panel.

www,crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful watercoloured, sending hugs card made using the Batik Beauty stamp set Stampin’ Up! products

The flowerpot from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set was stamped on the square of Basic White card in Mossy Meadow ink and the group of daisies added in Basic Gray ink. I used the Pale Papaya Blends Markers to colour in the daisies and So Saffron for the flower centres.

www,crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful watercoloured, sending hugs card made using the Batik Beauty stamp set Stampin’ Up! products

The coloured image was then die cut using the Layering Circle Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and layered onto a larger scalloped circle cut in the same way with the same dies from the square of Mossy Meadow card. The circle was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

www,crafty-rootes.co.uk – A beautiful watercoloured, sending hugs card made using the Batik Beauty stamp set Stampin’ Up! products

I used the following dark Blends Markers – Magenta Madness, Blackberry Bliss, Night of Navy and Fresh Freesia to scribble blocks of colour onto the Vellum.
