My daughter turned 22 and, although I haven't even gotten into the craftroom over the summer, I had to get in there and make something for her, of all people! It had become a bit of a dumping ground, especially the desk, but I did a swift tidy away and then made a card. Wow, I was out of practice!! After a few false starts, I ended up with quite a girly card for my non-girly girl!! Here it is:
I loosely used the sketch from this week's Mojo Monday and I'm also entering the following challenges: Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge ("Celebrate"), Craft your Passion, Lemon Shortbread and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge ("Anything Goes") and Crafty Cardmakers ("Summer").
I made a chevron stencil for the embossing paste using a Simon Say Stamp chevron die - it had three rows and I needed lots more, so I die cut on a large piece of card and repositioned carefully to recut about 20 rows. Very pleased with the outcome. I heat embossed the flowers with white e.p. and coloured them, then cut them all out and layered on the card. I put a little bee on the tag as Daisy loves bees - there's one on her most recent tattoo on her arm. Here's a side-shot of the layers and texture.
Recipe:
Stamps: Stampendous "Flower Swirls"
Die: Simon Says Stamp "Small Chevron Stripes"
Font: "Bringshoot" dafont.com
Other: White e.p., white embossing paste, Prismacolor pencils, homemade enamel dots
Thanks for looking!
