(Third post for today. Please scroll down for two A Day For Daisies posts)
Okay kiddies, I definitely stepped out of my box for this one. Lots of bright colors and my first stab at the dot technique. It's Sassy Cheryl's 100th challenge and I wanted to play along with their celebration challenge so I broke out my Sassy Sally and drew from all the wonderful colors in the My Mind's Eye paper I used. I don't think I quite did the dot technique right, but it could have been worse. :-)It's been quite a while since I've done any handmade flowers so it was fun to break out all those punches again and create the little flower cluster in the corner. They all started from white cardstock and then I used the Copics I'd colored the image with to make the flowers and leaves to match. There's some Stickles on them for the "shimmery" part of the challenge.
For the sentiment I printed it out on my computer, cut the letters apart and distressed the edges, glued those to the pink cardstock, and ditressed those edges too. It was fun just to play with all my tools and stuff for a just for fun card. Hope you like it. :-)
Oh, by the way, my apologies to all of you who actually recognized the old song from my Wednesday post and then had it stuck in your heads all day. LOL
