fresh & fun

Here is the other card I made yesterday in between reading your flower comments.

I still had It’s your Birthday and Both Way Blossoms out, so I used those again. A lot of you like daisies. I do love them too. They look so fresh. I had punched a lot of scallop shapes that I originally wanted to put in the candy. But the basket was already full and I decided to keep the punchouts for next time. I couldn’t help it and had to use one though.

The paper is from  Au chocolat Designer paper in the Spring mini catalog. My prima Flowers and the white brad are from Starlitstudio. My Scallop Marvy punch I got from Ellen Hutson  when she had them in stock. The celery colored brads are from Stampin’ Up!’s Soft Subtle Brads assortment.

The flowers and saying  are stamped with Timber Brown Stazon. I then colored the flowers with the white gel pen and the Pure Color Pencils from Stampin’ Up!. I blended the pencils with Gamsol and blending stump. And yes…I am kind of lazy and had everything still out from my tulip card earlier. LOL

I added doodles on the apricot scallop circle with the white gel pen and brown doodles around the saying.  I punched the HB out with the 1/2″ circle punch from Stampin’ Up! and then layered it on a white 3/4″ circle of white cardstock.

The background stamp is called Flannel Plaid. I stamped it with Whisper White craft ink on my Certainly Celery card base.

I am not quite sure about this card. I think the center circle with the flowers should have been a different color. I didn’t want to make the card too white, maybe Saffron? Or maybe I should have just stamped linen in Celery first to make it not so empty looking…. Oh well…I am still okay with it. Just keep looking at it thinking I should have done something different with it.
