Wishing you sunshine and daisies

I had some 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!


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 Flower digital stamp from the Daisy Elements digital stamp set from the Beccy's Place store.  I sized the image panel to 2.875” x 7.875” and the Sunshine and Daisies digital sentiment to fit neatly on a tall slimline card (3 1/2" x 8 1/2").  I printed the image panel on white textured cardstock (printer is pigment ink), coloured with alcohol (Copic) markers, trimmed to size, matted with pink textured cardstock, trimmed to 1/16" border using a Perfect Layers Ruler, adhered to a 1/2" x 8 1/2" cardstock panel, then adhered the panel to a slimline card base that I made from 300gsm smooth cardstock.  I trimmed the sentiment panel and matted to match.


It felt so good to give my Copic markers a pretty workout
and to try some new-to-me colour blends too ++

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.
