Hello Daisies

Hey there, everyone!  It's another rainy, grey day here in the Maritimes.  Or at least my part of the Maritimes.  Others are getting snow.  We have been too warm for snow but that'll change soon.  Anyway, I have another card to share today.  This one isn't Christmas either.  Check it out....


Lovely and bright isn't it?  I first cut out a circle from my white card base then I took a white card stock panel and created my own striped paper.  I used washi tape as a mask and sponged black ink on it.  Took off the tape and voila!  I attached this in behind the circle opening.  Next, I stamped my daisies (STAMPlorations - Bloom Sketches set) and coloured them with my Spectrum Noir markers.  I fussy cut them out and arranged and attached them to my card.  I raised the top one up with some foam dots.  Then I stamped my sentiment (same STAMPlorations set).  I love the colours of my daisies against the black and white.

I'm linking up to the following challenges:

STAMPlorations - December challenge - choose a past challenge.  I chose "stamps and markers".
STAMPlorations - ongoing anything goes challenge.
Uniko Studio - challenge #16, anything goes

Well, I hope you are all as excited for Christmas as I am!  It's hard not to be with a six year old in the house.  We will finally put up our tree this weekend too so that will add to the excitement.  Have a wonderful day and thanks for visiting!
