I wanted the stunningly intricate frameto be the focal point of the card so began by stamping  it in full strength  or 1st generation Early Espresso ink. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in 1st generation Early Espresso ink.

A sweet card made using new product from the up-coming 2019 - 2020 Annual Catalogue

Sneak Peek Daisy Lane

Posted on by

Today I am sharing a sneak peek card made using some of the new products I received at OnStage last weekend. I love getting new product to play with and made this card for a team sketch challenge.

Making the Daisy lane card

You will need;
Mint Macaron card base
Whisper White 5⅝” by 3⅞” x 2 – rounded upper left corner – 1 for the inside
Flirty Flamingo 4 ¼” by 2” – rounded lower right corner
Whisper White 4⅛” by 1⅞” – rounded lower right corner
Scrap strips of Mint Macaron, Flirty Flamingo & Smoky Slate
Scrap Whisper for stamping a daisy and sentiment

I began by stamping the stem and leaves in Mint Macaron ink onto the smaller panel of Whisper White cardstock. I added the daisy head in Flirty Flamingo ink. I didn’t like the way I had stamped the daisy head and ended up stamping it again onto scrap Whisper White cardstock and fussy cutting it out. It was added to the stamped layer on dimensionals. The panel was then added to the Flirty Flamingo cardstock using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Next I inked up the Birch background stamp using Smoky Slate ink, I find it easier to lay these large background stamps face up on the grid paper before inking them up and laying the cardstock on top. I used one of the larger panels of Whisper White cardstock for this. I really like the birch markings of this stamp; it adds a great bit of texture to the card. I added the birch stamped panel to the front of the Mint Macaron card base using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I added a strip of Mint Macaron, Smoky Slate and Flirty Flamingo cardstock behind the daisy stamped layer using Snail adhesive and added the panel to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Well Said stamp set was stamped in Mint Macaron ink onto scrap Whisper White which I trimmed down using my scissors. I backed it with a small piece of Mint Macaron cardstock cut to size and the sentiment was added to the card front on Dimensionals.
