Turquoise Daisies

Hello

I seem to go through phases and turquoise seems to be my current trend and my go to colour when in doubt.

For this card, I used a lovely Daisy card from Hobby Art.

I stamped in black ink onto a background I had created using watercolour paint in greens and blues.

I coloured the daisies in white so that they would stand out from the background.

A lovely co-ordinated paperstock makes the perfect background.

I cut some various Sizzix die cut flowers in shades of turquoise and a white flourish to finish the card.

I hope you like it.

TTFN.

A Daisy Field in Turquoise

Hello

I have a card today which uses one of my favourite Daisy stamps from the wonderful Hobby Art.

I started by stamping in each of the corners. I masked the original images and stamped either side to fill the corner. I coloured using watercolour pencils which give a really subtle effect.

To complete the card, I added some co-ordinated layers of cardstock – one plain and one a colourful dotty pattern.

Finally, I added some embellishments picking out the turquoise colouring from the daisies – some daisies and corners.

I hope you like it.

TTFN.

Crazy Paved Stamping

I do not know if this technique exists and whether it has a proper name but I call it “Crazy Paved Stamping”.

I have used gorgeous Daffodil and Daisy stamps from Hobby Art.  Firstly I stamped the image on different coloured cardstock and cut randomly before piecing together, leaving a tramline, to recreate the original image.  I have then coloured each of the sections using a variety of mediums; watercolours, pencils and charcoal.

I have added various embellishments made using spellbinders and sizzix to complete the cards.  For the small quilled daffodil I used a star punch with a simple quilled circle and for the larger quilled daffodil I used a larger star template and quilled a section of spellbinder border.

With the Daisy stamp I have also pieced the sections together randomly for a different effect.
