Daisies for you Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight)

Hi everyone :o)

Yesterday was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this Daisies for you Card.

To make this card, I was inspired with Daisies Boxes I made in May.

I heat embossed with clear embossing powder daisies from beautiful Jane's Doodles stamp set, 'Daisies', on a white cardstock panel. Then I blended the panel with Distress Inks, splattered the panel with water and repeated the process until I was satisfied with colors.

I trimmed the panel a bit, to make it smaller than card base. I could use smaller panel in a start, but I don't like distressed edges on panels when placing them on white card bases, so trimming is necessary. :o)

To add more interest to my card, I drew white stitches on the panel with white gel pen and the panel was finished.

Next up was a sentiment. Oh this took me so much time. First I couldn't decide what sentiment to put on the card. When I finally decided to use sentiment from 'Mr. & Mrs. Claus', I couldn't decide in what technique to make it, to stamp it, heat emboss it, what color to use... So I made couple of sentiments and tried them. The winner was heat embossed in white on a black cardstock paper. :o)

Last, I assembled card together. I glued 3-D foams on the back of the panel and sentiment and glued them on a top folded white card base. Couple of clear droplets and my card was finished. :o)

Hi everyone :o)

Today was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made these Daisies Boxes.

These boxes were packages for homemade sun tanning creams I made. Today I won't write about the cream, only boxes.

I measured plastic container and drawn box shape on a white cardstock paper. I cut out drawn shape and heat embossed daisies from beautiful Jane's Doodles stamp set, 'Daisies' over whole surface. I made second box same way.

Then I blended both boxes with Distress Inks, splattered them with water and repeated whole process until I was satisfied with colors.

After drying, I assembled boxes by gluing flaps, leaving one side open. Easy to make and really nice package for my homemade sun tanning creams. :o)

Daisies Card (Jane's Doodles DT Spotlight + I Love Math Challenge #1)

Hi everyone :o)

Today was my turn to be on the spotlight over at Jane's Doodles and I made this CAS, one layer, positive/negative with a pop of color, Daisies Card. :o)

I stamped gorgeous daisies from Jane's Doodles 'Daisies' stamp set directly on a card base. I didn't get good impression of stamped images and also managed to smudge my card with ink. I hate when that happens.

I didn't want to throw it away, but had no idea what to do whit it. I went through some photos of my works and finally came up whit an idea. :o)

Here's what inspired me...

• positive/negative technique: "Forest", drawing, positive/negative technique, pencil, 2004

• favorite shape: circle
• pattern and color: work in progress, crochet hippo "Daisy" (pattern available here)

I drew and stamped circles of various sizes over stamped daisies and over smudges on the card base. I used EK Success Circle Cutter to draw large circles.

I colored stamped image with black pen to get positive/negative effect. I've learned this when I was elementary school student, at my Art Class. :o)

Then I colored pestles blending together yellow and orange colored pencils and shaded petals with grey pencils.

At the end I covered pestles with gloss resin to create glossy accents and my card was finished.

Card dimensions: 94 mm x 138 mm (3 3/4" x 5 1/2)

List of supplies:

• Jane's Doodles 'Daisies' stamp set
• Jane's Doodles 'Geometric Patterns' stamp set (retired)
• Create a Smile 'Eggstraordinary Egghunt' stamp set (smallest circles)
• white cardstock paper
• Ranger Archival Ink (Jet Black)
• Koh-i-noor Woodless Colored Pencils
• Chrome Yellow 1
• Reddish Orange 2
• TOZ light and dark grey colored pencils
• Stabilo Pen 88/46 Black, 0.4 mm
• Gloss Resin Super Clear
• MS scoring board
• Sigma Rotary Paper Trimmer
• acrylic block (102 mm x 102 mm)
• polymer stamp handle (38 mm x 38 mm)
• EK Success Circle Cutter
• crafting needle
