Daisy Lane - stepped up
Here are the details for our final Coffee & Cards project this week using the delightful Daisy Lane stamp and punch bundle.
The inspiration for this project came from a magazine called Stampin' Success - a magazine that us Demonstrators receive four times a year - I just tweaked it a little!
We used Shimmery White card to create the watercolour wash background as it has a slight coating that stops the card from piling when damp.
Top Tip #1
I always dampen the card slightly with clean water before I add any ink. The damp card helps the ink to flow around so you don't end up with harsh lines.
This was especially important here in the UK this week as it has been really warm and humid - normal Summer weather will resume shortly I'm sure!
Top Tip #2!
Swipe the Aqua Painter across the card in a random fashion - start at different sides for a more random look too.
Leave the card to dry for a few moments before stamping an assortment of ferns to create a bespoke background. Don't worry about the overlapping ferns as they will be covered by the daises.
I love creating watercolour wash backgrounds - you are never quite sure how they will turn out! The background was then adhered to the card front with Tombow.
We stamped four daisies and punched them out. The petals have been curled and shaped with a poky tool and then assembled with a dot of Tombow, offsetting the petals slightly for a fuller look.
We added some of this gorgeous Scalloped Linen Ribbon across the front of the card, adhering with double sided tape and then positioned our daisies. We added one of the In Colour Faceted Dots to the centre of each flower.
The sentiment (A Little Lace) was stamped onto a 1cm strip of card with Pretty Peacock ink and adhered with dimensionals.
The inside of the card (and the envelope) were stamped with the fern image multiple times.
Here is the completed card and envelope.
Thanks to everyone who joined me this week for some crafty fun. You can purchase Daisy Lane and the Medium Daisy Punch as a bundle which gives a saving of 10%. If you were to add some of the Scalloped Linen Ribbon and a pack of the In Colour Faceted Dots you would also receive a coupon for £4.50 to spend next month ...!
I will be back on Saturday as I am taking part in another Tic Tac Toe Challenge with the Design Team from Joy of Sets. I have enjoyed using Daisy Lane so much this week I am using it again and some of the ribbon too for the TTT challenge!
Have a crafty weekend.
