I Love Daisies!

Today’s card is for the Colour Create Challenge. You were to use the colors Grassy Green, Apple Green, Sunflower Yellow, Lemon, and White. They also gave you this picture as some inspiration.

Even before I saw the picture I thought of daisies. I then remembered this gorgeous vellum I have had for a while and been hoarding. I decided I needed to use some on this card. I also remembered I had a Spellbinders daisy die I hadn’t used in a while so I was ready to make my card.

After I had cut and embossed my flowers and leaves I wanted the embossing to pop so I used a sponge dauber to add color (Barely Banana flowers got Summer Sun ink and the Summer Sun flowers got More Mustard ink – Certainly Celery leaves got Garden Green ink and the Garden Green leaves got Handsome Hunter ink). As an added twist you were supposed to decorate the inside of the card and the envelope. I have been decorating the insides of my cards for a while but had not been doing the envelopes. I did decorate my envelope for this challenge and I think I am going to go back to decorating the envelope also. Here is my creation.
