Exclusive Daisy Set

I've been making an effort to colour up images that I'd previously stamped, along with using up patterned paper from my stash, which resulted in this somewhat *bright* creation this afternoon:

This is the Exclusive Daisy Set by Art Impressions that was available at Scrapbook.com for a limited time.  I coloured the image with Copic markers, and have seen so many pink/yellow combos lately, that I wanted to give it a try - which resulted in my vibrant creation.  And since I'm a matchy-matchy person at heart, I pulled out the Farmer's Market papers from Doodlebug to create my card.

I've also been wanting to use some of the interesting die sets from Art Impressions, most of which were created for mini journals, but work really well on cards.  The frame is from 5588 - Journal Oval Frames, and the banner is from 5809 - Decorative Journal Page 2.  The frame was layered twice for a little extra dimension, and the banner (with a sentiment from 5735 - Birthday Sentiments Set) was raised on foam adhesive.

Daisy Exclusive

This is a retired set that Art Impressions did as an exclusive with Scrapbook.com several years ago.  This is SUCH a pretty image, and I loved colouring it up in a very quiet colour combination.  I pulled out the 5835 - Mini PP and added a few enamel dots - I love how calm this card feels!

A Daisy Thank-you

I am up on the Art Impressions blog today!

I have a simple card to share.  In this case, the image does all the talking, and I just didn't want to add much to the card to take away from the pretty spray of flowers:

 This is one of the images from the Exclusive Daisy Set, available through Scrapbook.com.  I stamped it in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Cryogen cardstock (which has the loveliest subtle shimmer to it!).  I coloured it using my Copic markers, concentrating the colour near the centers of the flowers.  I added a soft halo of blues in and around the flowers to make them pop off the page a little more, using a bit of a stipple to add some texture.

 The sentiment is also found in the Exclusive Daisy set - and was stamped using Versafine Onyx Black ink.  The matted image is adhered to the patterned base with some 3D foam adhesive so that it rises up just a little.  To add even more shimmer, I went over the blooms with my clear Wink of Stella pen, and you can see the results here:

Happy stamping!

Copics used:  C1, C3, C00, YG01, YG00, B0000, B000, B00, B32, B34, G40, G43

Art Impressions Exclusive Daisy Set

I am playing along with the Papercrafter's Workshop challenge today, which is "make something with ribbon", and pulled out the Art Impressions Exclusive Daisy Set available at Scrapbook.com:

 I stamped my daisy wreath onto Cryogen cardstock, and coloured it with my Copic markers.  I wanted to make them multi coloured (less daisy-like!), for a spring card.  The circle is adhered with pop dots, and I added an organdy ribbon underneath.  My card is 5 1/2" square.

There are challenges on the Papercrafter's Workshop facebook page, every Monday & Thursday if you want to play along.
