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)

To combine my two greatest passions together: Math and Crafts. Also to show Math isn't the worst thing in the world. :o)
