Daisy Card Topper with extra POP

Earlier today I had shared a sweet daisy card
using the Daisy Elements digital set from the Beccy's Place Store. 
.... when I say "digital set", it's two little words for a "MEGA digital set"
filled with digital stamps (to colour and pre-coloured), digital sentiments,
digital papers and card toppers too!

My second card uses the same set with a different sentiment,
so that I could send some "just because" cheer
instead of the birthday wishes on the original card design,
along with some extra POP.


I designed my card in Silhouette Studio (no, I didn't use it to cut but it's a handy program to size and design cards and card elements), starting with the Daisy Card Topper 1 from the Daisy Elements digital stamp set from the Beccy's Place store.  I sized the panel to 5 1/2" square.  I duplicated the panel and roughly sliced the daisy and buttons out so that I could print them at the same time as the card front then fussy cut for added dimension later.  I duplicated another card panel and sliced the sentiment panel out, opened the "sunshine and daisies" sentiment (from the same Daisy Elements digital stamp set) and overlayed this sentiment over the original birthday one, sizing it to fit neatly on the sentiment strip and cover the one underneath.

I printed the image panel and extra elements on white textured cardstock.  I trimmed card topper panel to size and adhered to a 5 1/2" top folding square card base.  I made the card base from 300gsm smooth cardstock panel.  I trimmed the sentiment panel and adhered it in place on the card front, popping with foam squares.  I fussy cut the extra daisy and extra buttons and went around the edges with a Memento Tuxedo Black Dual Tip Marker.  I gently curled the petals of the daisy then popped the daisy and buttons in place with foam dots for added dimension.
   
   


   

HERE is the card I shared earlier using the same set,

  1. Wow! I'm amazed at the difference the extra layers make... it really does pop! I'm very impressed that you fussy cut the details Tracy, you sure have a steady hand. Thanks for sharing your technique!
