Started with a kraft card base and used a Heidi Swapp background stamp with Baked Brown Sugar ink. I added a strip of gingham that I stamped with SU!'s newest Peekaboo Peach ink, and then added the Daisies that I also stamped with the Peekaboo Peach ink and Tangelo Twist ink. I fussy cut them out and also added a few leaves that I stamped in Baked Brown Sugar and Crumb Cake inks. A little bit of baker's twine and some PPP sequins finished off this card.
The next 2 cards are basically the same...I just used different ribbon on each one.
I stamped my background again using the Heidi Swapp stamp (Crumb Cake ink) and then embossed over it using a new Darice Daisy embossing folder. I used pinks (Altenew Red Cosmos ink set) for the Daisies (and the gingham strip) and greens (Altenew Green Field ink set) for the leaves. Added a seam binding ribbon and button (with twine), a birthday sentiment (SU!'s Rose Wonder), and a few sequins to finish. I also added some shimmer to parts of the daisy that you can see better in this close up:
This last card is basically the same...I just added a pink seam binding ribbon and button, and left off the sentiment as I'm not sure what I'll be using this card for yet.
