I made this Retirement Card for my neighbor who just retired and I used the Atlantic Hearts Sketch as my inspiration.
Here’s the sketch I used. I love daisies so the Cheerful Daisies products worked so well for this week’s challenge.
Tips & Instructions
Blackberry Bliss Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4
Basic White Layer - 4 x 5 1/4, emboss using the Dashing Designs 3D Embossing Folder. Adhere to the card base.
Basic White - use the 2nd largest die from the Countryside Corners Dies and lightly blend Azure Afternoon ink with a Blending Brush. Adhere to the card.
Stamp 3 daisies using the Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set on Basic White. I used Black Memento ink for the outline stamp and Lemon Lolly ink for the filler. Stamp the center in Blackberry Bliss ink. Die cut with coordinating dies.
Die cut 3 branches from Blackberry Bliss and 3 sets of leaves from Granny Apple Green. Tip, I put a strip of cardstock just under the leaves of the large die to get just the leaves.
Adhere the daisies to the card using a Dimensional at the center of each. Adhere the branches and leaves to the card just under the daisies.
Die cut the second from smallest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies and stamp the sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink. The sentiment is from the Pocket Thoughts Stamp Set.
Add some Iridescent Faceted Gems.
On the inside layer (4 x 5 1/4), stamp sentiment in Blackberry Bliss ink The sentiment is from the Gone Fishing Stamp Set. Stamp a daisy on the bottom corner.
I love the flowers against the blue layer and the embossed layer.
