A Daisy Birthday - The Paper Players #448

Happy Canada Day everyone.  Canada is 152 years young and all over the country people were celebrating.  And what a perfect summer day it was!

I spent the day on my patio surrounded by the plants in my garden, plants that are desperately trying to bloom after a cool rainy Spring.  My daisies are not yet blooming and I look forward to their appearance.

For the Tic Tac Toe challenge at The Paper Players # 448 I decided to use Daisies as my floral element for the vertical column of the challenge.  The other two elements in the column are the use of punched shapes, and ribbon. 

My friend is having a birthday soon, so this will be my card for her.





The thick Whisper White card base is layered first wotj some Daffodil Delight card stock and then a Whisper white layer embossed with the new Eyelet Lace embossing folder.  That folder had been  brayered  with Daffodil Delight ink making for a delicate lacy layer, a perfect foil for the Daisy flowers.


Three Daisy flowers were made using the new Medium Daisy punch.  Each flower was made by punching two flowers, shaping the petals with a bone folder and then adhering them together alternating the petals.  Leaves were stamped using the Daisy Lane stamp set, fussy cutting them, and adhering a Leaf to each Daisy.  Before adhering them together, Daffodil Delight was applied in the centers of the punched Daisies using a finger dauber. A Daffodil Delight glitter gem was added to the center of each flower.

The Daisies were adhered to an embossed  3D Oval Heirloom Frame, the top of which was sponged with Daffodil Delight ink.  The birthday sentiment, from Beautiful Day, was added in the center of this frame.


To finish the card, a bow was made using the 5/8" Polka dot organza ribbon and adhering it to the top of the oval die.


Here's some more pictures of the completed card.
