Soft ethereal layers of daisies to welcome spring -  handmade card by Debby Hughes.

Hi all, as I write this we are waiting on a storm to pass through, however, I’m taking everything I can from these sweet daisies and the hope of spring around the corner! We have snowdrops out around here and the daffodil stems are coming through strong. We’ve not seen any buds yet though. The Dreamy Daisy Layers dies make such elegant blooms and layered with vellum they are so soft and ethereal.

Before I get started, I wanted to let you know that today’s Dreamy Daisy Layers Dies are part of a new release from Simon Says Stamp. The Good Luck Charm release has everything you need to welcome Spring! You can check out the full release here.

soft ethereal layers of daisies

I started this card by die cutting lots of layers of daisies from both vellum and watercolour card. I added a light dunking in Tattered Rose Distress Ink to the larger base layers of the daisies and to the flower centres I added a more concentrated mix of Scattered Straw Distress Ink. When dry I layered the various die cut pieces together with foam tape.

welcome spring!

While I was die cutting, I also die cut the Basic Box Card Love You So Much die from the watercolour card and glued it to the background piece cut from vellum.

For the background panel, I dunked a piece of watercolour card into a combination of Tattered Rose and Scattered Straw Distress Inks. I then used various of the Layered Confetti Stencils pack to brush White Pigment Ink and then more of the Distress Inks in Scattered Straw and Tattered Rose. It gives the background a lovely bokeh look. I splattered white gouache over the piece and then when dry cut to fit on a Neenah Desert Storm card base.

I added all the elements to the card with foam tape and then embellished with sequins and pearls.

OK, that’s me for today, but I’ll be back later in the week to join in with a fun blog hop. Catch up with you then.
