Another Daisy Sneak Peek!


Still keeping yesterday's color theme, but this time the small single daisy flower from Daisy Delight was used. This is a two-step image, so the outline was stamped in Basic Black first, then the fill color in Daffodil Delight. Easy-peasy, no coloring involved!


Since I had a piece of the gingham check left over from yesterday's card, I put it to work here instead of throwing it into the Box o' Useful Bits. The very, very full Box o' Useful Bits.

Smiley from Millan.Net

Here's the "How To"
 Image: Whisper White 3" x 3"
 Mat for image: Basic Black 2-1/4" x 2-1/4"
 Greeting: Whisper White 1-1/8" x 2-3/4"
 Mat for greeting: Basic Black 1-1/4" x 2-7/8"
 Gingham: Leftover from yesterday 2" x 4-1/8" (you can substitute DSP for gingham)
 Mat for gingham: Basic Black 2-1/8" x 4-1/4"
 DSP: Color theory DSP Stack (available June 1st) 3-7/8" x 5-1/8"

 Card base: Whisper White 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" scored & folded at 4-1/4"
  1. Stamp single daisy three times (in black) on image panel. Stamp stems in black. Note: I masked the daisy to stamp the stems a little higher so more leaves would show.
  2. Stamp fill color on daisies and cut out daisy bunch with second largest Stitched Shapes square. Adhere to mat.
  3. Stamp greeting from Butterfly Basics in black, and adhere to mat.
  4. Adhere gingham and DSP to their respective mats.
  5. Attach largest DSP/mat to card base. Adhere gingham/mat on top toward the left side.
  6. Attach daisies and greeting with dimensionals.
  7. Add Clear Wink of Stella to flowers, if desired.

Butterfly Basics Birthday


Butterfly Basics Birthday....as always, alliteration allays apathy. (Sorry about that. Well, not really. Heh heh.)

The Butterfly Basics Bundle is a stamp set and Thinlits bundle in the new catalog that made me squeal with excitement when I saw it. I love butterflies as much as I love snowmen, which is lucky for me because the seasons don't overlap.....I have something to get excited about all year long! And to have coordinating Thinlits so I don't have to fussy-cut the butterflies made me very happy indeed! The bundle is available with wood-mount or clear-mount stamps, or in totally clear photopolymer!

Something Borrowed DSP is full of fabulous neutral patterns of Sahara Sand and Whisper White, which coordinate with just about any of our colors. I chose Chocolate Chip (which I've been kind of neglecting since Early Espresso came along), and added Calypso Coral for a pop of bright color. The Pearls Basic Jewels were colored with the middle shade of Calypso Coral Blendabilities and the doily from the Artisan Embellishments Kit was sponged with Calypso Coral ink.

Now I need to get this in the mail to someone very special!
