DAISY DELIGHT

I enjoy joining in with the various challenge blogs - they take me out of my comfort zone and encourage me to try something I wouldn't normally - especially the Clean and Simple ones - I'm delighted that my card was chosen as Winner of the Week #222 - Thank you!!!

I've found another two new challenge blog on my travels -  one is Color Throwdown

Their Challenge #443 is the following:Turquoise, Lime Green, Yellow and White







The other is Sunday Stamps
 
 

Do you see a bit of a theme here?  I love the way Stampin' Up! is bang on trend with their colours!!  h Lemon Lime Twist - have I mentioned how I adore this colour previously?  Lol - followers of my You Tube will know how much I love this colour and I'm not normally a lemon/lime girl unless it's in a Gin and Tonic! 

So for my card I've used Lemon Lime Twist, Tempting Turquoise and Daffodil Delight, all Stampin' Up! inks.

 I used Tempting Turquoise cardstock as my base and White Watercolour paper to do a colour wsh of the Tempting Turqoise and Lemon Lime Twist.  I used the new Daisy Delight stamp set and matching punch. I punched out the daisy four times - two in Whisper White cardstock which I inked up with Daffodil Delight and a touch of Lemon Lime Twist.  Two daisies were punched out of our retiring Designer Series Papers.  A Glitter enamel dot in Lemon Lime Twist was added to the centre of the flower and it was popped up on dimensionals.

Such a bright fun card - hopefully it will brighten someone's day.

DAISY DELIGHT - CAS COLOURS AND SKETCHES

I always like to challenge myself to do the Clean and Simple challenges - because so often I like to puts lots of things on a card.

The challenge #222 over at CAS colours and Sketches this week is a sketch


 

 How Clean and Simple is this sketch - was I up to the challenge? Let me know if  you think I was.  

I decided to go with the new Daisy Delight set because I think the images on this are so simple but effective.

I masked off my Whisper White card stock three ways - the left hand was inked with our new Powder Pink ink - the right hand side was inked over with Calypso Coral.  The daisy was simply inked with Pear Pizazz for the stem - Pink Powder for the first stamp for the daisy and the new Fresh Fig for the stamping detail.  The sentime, inked in Fresh Fig is also from this set.

Then I had to walk away.  Gulp - no ribbon, no embellishments, no glitter - I kept it Clean and Simple with lots of white space just as asked.

I love its simplicity - it allows the Daisy to take centre stage.

 BUT.... then I looked at it and just had to fiddle - it was crying out for some DSP and what better than the Daisy Delight Designer Series Paper - oh and then it needed some bling so I had to include a few of the lovely new Glitter dots!! I won't include this in the challenge as I don't think it has enough white space but I love the fact that you can give the basic card a make-over!
