Today I had the pleasure of colouring and creating with the super cute Sherri Baldy's My Besties img409 Urban Farm Diva Daisy May digital stamp to make a birthday card.



I used the first sketch and rotated it so that the image and panels were vertical.
I decided to make a 7" x 7" square card, sizing the image and panels to suit the features of the sketch.  I printed the image on X-Press It Blending card, heat set and coloured with Copic markers.

I created the 7" x 7" top folding card base by cutting two panels, scoring 1" down on the back panel to make the top fold and adhered the panels together.  Handy hint - rub your embossing stylus on a cake of soap to make the scoring smoother and crisper.

I adhered a panel of cardstock to the card front then layered the sheet of 6 1/2" patterned paper on top for a perfect border.  I punched a two strips of cardstock using Fiskars Fall Foliage border punch and layered them together, slightly offset, to make the middle panel from the sketch.  There is a thin strip of cardstock that becomes "waste" from the border punching process and I decided to "recycle" the strip by using it as a decorative accent against the foliage border, adding more contrast to the panel.

I die cut two doilies and layered them together then popped them with thin foam squares.

I trimmed the image panel down to size and double matted with cardstock, getting the perfect edge with my Perfect Layers ruler, 1/8" and 1/4".  I took some rich orange cardstock, punched a decorative edge using Fiskars Scalloped Sentiment border punch and adhered it under the matted image panel.  The matted image panel was popped in place with thick foam squares for more dimension.



I used a variety of flower punches to create some layered flowers, finishing each one off with a rhinestone.  Some flowers were adhered to the image panel and doily, otheres were popped with foam dots.  The finishing touch was the layered butterfly and a portion of black bling flourish.
The cluster of flowers and butterfly with bling are my creative
version of the camera and tag with twine from the sketch.

Lucky last came the die cut sentiment.
