Grateful Dusty Daisies

When I first read the colors for this weeks CC263 I thought Ugh....Dusty Durango, Pretty in Pink, and Creamy Caramel. I shifted the pieces of paper over each other and shuffeling the order, and all I decided was I am going to have to use an awful lot of White!

However when I went to get my supplies I decided I wanted to make shiney little Daisies,and so this card was born.

I used my Cuttlebug "Victoria" to emboss the Durango and a White Gel Pen to enhance the Caramel matting. Using Creamy Caramel for the image base I stamped the daisies from Watercolor Garden in VersaMark and then heat embossed with Ranger White Detail embossing powder. I tried several inks and techniques before I could get the pink centers to pop on the card. First I just stamped Pretty in Pink, then using MS teardrop Pastel Pink, and finally using VersaMark and a pink pastel chalk, which happened to be a little darker than Pretty in Pink, but the only light pink I owned, Did the trick. After finally succeeding I used my DD reinker and some Kleenex folded to stamp some leaves around the Daisies. I used Real Rust to stamp the sentiment to make sure it wasnt blothcy. I really need to order the inkpads. I used my MS branch Punch and my SU: 1-1/4 and 1-3/8" Circle Punches and Scalloped Circle Punches to layer and mout the sentiment.

Thanks for Looking...Until later...Happy Stamping!
