When is a daisy not a daisy?

Hello crafting pals!

I've been hunting out challenges having become addicted to the fun of thinking out card ideas. These two challenges seemed to go well together - I love that sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and the Addicted To CAS theme looks interesting...

... but the problem is that I don't have a daisy stamp. Or do I? A rummage through my small stash of stamps revealed a retired Stampin' Up Christmas set called Cheerful Tags:

See that little stamp on the bottom right? I snipped away the extra dots and was left with a daisy image! Come and see what I made with it:

The background was made by scribbling on an acrylic block with markers, spritzing with water and stamping. When it was dry, I inked up my new daisy with Versamark and stamped twice onto the background. I heat embossed with white embossing powder (yes! I have acquired a heat tool and some basic embossing powder!) and polished my daisies with a dauber.

I repeated this process on a separate piece of card, snipped the daisy out and added punched yellow centres to all my flowers. The card was finished with a stamped and cut out sentiment from Alte and New's Birthday Wishes. (This close up does reveal a bit of a dodgy ink up - oops! But my new ink pads are on their way *throws hat in the air and cheers*)

Sometimes the more obstacles there are, the more the fun these challenges are!

Daisies are such friendly flowers aren't they. Who remembers making daisy chains as a child?

Sending inky hugs,
