Divinity Designs LLC - Birthday Flower of the Month - April

Hi, everyone! It's time to reveal the April Birthday Flower of the Month.....the Daisy!!!! I have created many samples already....this is one of the most versatile stamps I own now! The variety of colors of daisies are endless! I created a coloring stencil for myself using a piece of Yupo paper (which is a type of plastic); the image was fussy cut along the outside of the image edge so that I could use blending brushes or sponges to color the image, clean the Yupo and use a different color next time!

My first sample today so far is my favorite.  The daisy was stamped on white vellum, colored on the under-side with Blending Brushes and markers, adhered to white cardstock using Adhesive Sheets, die cut, then popped up with Foam Mounting Tape over a banana yellow panel, cut with the Double Stitched Rectangles Dies and embossed with the Lattice Slimline Embossing Folder.  The white panel was cut with the Matting Rectangle Die and card was cut with the A2 Landscape Card Base with Layer Dies. Lavender baker's twine and milk dots were added for finishing touches.

Next up is a card for a co-worker, who's fave colors are royal blue and kelly green. The flower center was colored with a marker then sealed with a clear glaze pen; the same Yupo coloring stencil was used again to color the petals with Blending Brushes. The stems were colored with a marker.  The designer paper is from the Landscapes Paper Pad and the following dies were used: Pierced Rectangles, Rectangles, Matting Rectangle, A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer.

My office-mate asked for a card for his cousin. Her fave colors are black and red, so I created a red daisy in the same manner as the royal blue daisy above! The designer paper is from the Gardening Gnomes Paper/Die Duo Set and the dies used are as follows: Pierced Frames, Matting Rectangle, A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer.  The image and frame were popped up with Foam Mounting Tape.

This card was created for my niece's birthday....since spring has just sprung, I chose happy colors.  The daisy was stamped on white and colored with markers...super quick and easy.  The designer paper is from the 'Electric Spectrum Slimline Paper Pad' and the following dies were used: Rectangles, Pierced Rectangles, Matting Rectangle, and the A2 Portrait Card Base with Layer.  Lime green sparkly gems were used as finishing touches.

Last but not least is another lavender design.  With this design, "hind-sight is 20-20".....after assembling the pieces I realized that the Lattice Background Die was not a good choice to pair with the gingham designer paper....a little too "busy".  Here are the items used for this card: Polka Dots and Gingham Paper Pad, Mini-Slimline Pierced Frame Dies, Mini-Slimline Card Base; Foam Mounting Tape, Blending Brushes.

Thanks for visiting!
