. . . more sunshine and daisies

Earlier today I had fun making a cheery, tall, slimline 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, definitely worth heading over to check it out!

... well, the delightful pink shade reminded me so much of the Marguerite Daisies in my parent's garden and the image was such a pleasure to colour that I had to make another one with some green for a different contrast.

I opened the saved file from the card I made earlier (full details HERE) in Silhouette Studio.  The saved file used the Daisy Flower digital stamp and Sunshine and Daisies digital sentiment from the Daisy Elements digital stamp set from the Beccy's Place store.  I printed the image panel on white textured cardstock (printer is pigment ink), coloured with alcohol (Copic) markers, trimmed to size and went to mat with green textured cardstock ... none of my greens matched the shades I coloured with, so I went over a panel of green cardstock with the darkest green Copic Marker I used to colour the stems of the daisies ... a perfect match.  I adhered the image and sentiment panels to the custom made green cardstock, trimmed to 1/16" border using a Perfect Layers Ruler, adhered to a 3 1/2" x 8 1/2" white cardstock panel, then adhered the panel to a slimline card base that I made from 300gsm smooth cardstock.

I mentioned earlier how wonderful the Daisy Elements digital stamp set

from the Beccy's Place Store is ... so I thought I would share some projects

I have made using other elements from the set.
