Sun behind daisies

I have had the idea for this card floating around in my head for a while so decided to try it on the weekend. (After seeing the finished card my daughter did make the comment that I should use some other sets, otherwise people will think I only own Lovely as a Tree and Upsy Daisy!)

To make this card I did the sky first.  I began by sponging with Brocade Blue, and then a little bit with Summer Sun.  When there was a a very light layer of Summer Sun I punched a circle out of a post-it note and then stuck it on before sponging some more Summer Sun, some Apricot  Appeal and finally at the bottom Pumpkin Pie.

I wanted daisies stretching across the bottom of the card so I stamped, covered the daisies and stamped again, completing any cut off daisies with a black marker.  It is quite hard to see but I have a strip of black grosgrain ribbon across the bottom with a knot tied on it.   I didn’t want to matte the whole picture so I placed a black strip at the bottom and added a thin frame on the image with a marker.

Thanks for dropping in.
