Guess what - yep another card using one of the flowers in the new stamp range, Favourite Flowers, by Joanna Sheen. This particular stamp gave me quite a headache at first, because for a little while I couldn't get my head round how to show it off well and do justice to the fabulous art work.Then looking though my papers for inspiration I found a sheet of dreamy blue scrapbook paper with the word Daisy at the top and very subtle flower words all over - how lucky is that? I didn't even buy the paper if I remember rightly it was free with one of my Artymiss orders some time back and like a lot of things it just seemed too good to use - till now!
I stamped the daisies directly on to the patterned paper and then used my white inktensity pen to really make the flowers pop. I think I used Sakura Stardust green for the leaves and stems. I matte and layered the image on to white and then vellum before finally putting it on to a navy border. Looking at the card now I would quite like to have a navy tag too but ah well not to worry.
Luckily the challenge at Tanda Stamps this week is floral fantasy so it's an ideal challenge to link up with this card. Thank you for looking everyone and for leaving such fantastic comments - you are so kind.

Hi Ann, gorgeous card, these stamps are fab. Hugs x
Well I didn't guess that this was one of yours Ann but do remember that Joanna commented about how she liked the way the daisies had been coloured with white pen to make them 'pop' ... think I hit the mute button not long after that 'cos the whittering was giving me a headache LOL!
I got those papers free with an order from Artymiss too and have only used one sheet so far, in my parents memory album almost 2 years ago!!
Luv'n'Stuff
