Welcome to the Color Fusers Blog Hop and August 2019 Color Challenge!
I absolutely love the August 2019 Color Challenge. The colors include Blackberry Bliss, Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay and one of the new 2019 – 2021 In Colors, Pretty Peacock. I hope you love this combination as much as I do! I have two cards to share with you today. They both feature the Daisy Lane Bundle plus the larger Daisy coordinating punch.
I have used the masking technique on this card to make the foliage looks like it’s in behind the small stamped flowers.
A few project details:
- In this close up you may be able to see that the daisy petals have been curled to help the daisy look more natural.
- The Rhinestone Jewels and the Clear Faceted gem have been colored with the Dark Bermuda Bay Blends Alcohol Marker.
- On this version, there are four stamped and punched flowers layered on top of each other.
- The pair of small daisies are attached to the pair of large daisies with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
A few finishing touches…
- I’ve stamped the script image from the Very Versailles stamp set, in first and second inking, around the edges of the whisper white layer.
- The Blackberry Bliss layer is attached to the card body with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
This second card has some slight variations from the first one and is in fact, a little simpler than the first one.
On this card…
- I changed the color of the smaller flowers, to Blackberry Bliss,
- only one large daisy was used for the central element, and
- the Rhinestone Jewels and Faceted Gem were not colored.
I personally prefer this simpler version.
So… Which version do you prefer?
The Daisy Lane Bundle includes the Daisy Lane Stamp Set and Medium Daisy Punch. You save 10% when you buy them together too!
This bundle is also designed to coordinate with the Daisy Delight Stamp Set and large Daisy punch shown in the photo below.
I hope you enjoyed my projects and are loving the August 2019 Color Challenge and blog hop.
