Daisy Blues

Hello fellow crafters! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Mine was spent cleaning out clothes closets which was a task that was long overdue. Next stop.....the linen closet. 

But I did get time to make this card for a challenge at Joan's Gardens. The project was to include a floral background, a doily, and three dimensional flowers with greenery. And this is what I came up with....

I knew I wanted to make a square card so I started with my base, making it 5x5 in white card stock. Next, I die cut my layers. I cut the floral designed digital paper using the scalloped edge die (second from largest) from Marianne Creatables Anja's Squares. I matted that with blue using the largest die from the same die set. 

My next step was to create a doily. However, I only have one doily die but I felt it was too large for the card, so I used a circular die from Marianne Craftables Tiny Hearts. I then cut two circles with Spellbinders Standard Circles dies (large and small), one in white card stock to stamp my sentiment (GKD Spring Mix STV Kit) and the other in blue to mat that sentiment circle. The matted circle was than adhered to the center of the doily. This doily was then adhered to the base card.

If you look very closely at the floral designed paper you'll notice that there are small blue flowers that look a little like daisies or asters. So....I made the three flowers using two different size dies from Heartfelt Creations Delicate Asters. I used both blue card stock and blue vellum to make these. I added Ranger Star Dust Stickles to the centers of the flowers and arranged them around the doily edge.  The greenery was punched with a MS punch and adhered to the flowers.

This completed my project....now on to cleaning out the linen clost.....(sigh)
