Daisy Lane Cut Out

, 2 Comments

The new 2019-2020 Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue has officially launched! It’s full of gorgeous things! The card today shows off stamped images using the new Daisy Lane stamp set.

Here’s the As You See It Challenge that inspired my creativity:

These colours are so great together. I added a bit of Basic Black for a striking contrast to the colours in the card.

The flower blooms on my card were inked up with Daffodil Delight ink, then I used a Sponge Dauber to add some Calypso Coral ink to the center of the rubber stamp before stamping the image on my Whisper White cardstock. Once the blooms were in place, I created masks to place over them by stamping the flowers on a piece of sticky post-it notes and fussy cutting them. I also created two masks in this same way using the stems of the flowers. I placed the bloom masks on my stamped blooms, then stamped one of the flower stems. I used Mossy Meadow for the stems, but stamped off first to make the ink a bit less bold. Then I applied one of my stem masks over that stamped image and stamped my second stem on the Whisper White cardstock. I applied the second stem post-it mask over the image before stamping my third stem. Then I peeled away all of my masks, revealing the amazing image you see before you!! LOL! (but seriously, it looks pretty awesome!)

Then I drew a line with a pencil and a ruler on the Whisper White cardstock where I wanted to cut off the edge to create the cut out flower section of the card. I used my paper trimmer to follow the pencil line up to my flower image, above as well as below. Then I fussy cut around the flower, meeting up with the cuts I made with my paper trimmer.

The sentiment is also from the Daisy Lane stamp set, which I stamped with Versamark ink on the Basic Black strip of cardstock (don’t forget to use the Embossing Buddy to get rid of excess static and oils on your paper). White Embossing powder was applied, excess tapped off, and the sentiment was heat embossed using my Heat Tool for a popping sentiment!

The layer of Daffodil Delight cardstock was dry embossed using the Tin Tile Dynamic Embossing Folder and my Big Shot. The rest of the card is all about the layering. Calypso Coral is my card base, then a matte of Whisper White behind the Daffodil Delight. The black strip with the sentiment was adhered over the Daffodil Delight, then the cardstock with the daisies was attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Finally, I used my Take Your Pick tool and the Fine-Tip Glue Pen to add a few of the new Woven Threads Sequin to complete my design.

I am very happy with how this card turned out. I hope you like it. Be sure to leave me a comment and let me know what you think. Questions are welcome as well.

You can play along with the As You See It Challenge blog and try the colour combination for yourself. We love to see what you come up with, so please share!

Have you heard that I’m riding to fight kids’ cancer!?! You can donate by clicking the image below and support my challenge to ride 750km in June. I hope to raise $1500 to help kids and their families in their battle with cancer. So far, I have been on my bike for 197km and raised $520. I am feeling a bit tired and sore, but it’s more than worth it!! Thank you for your support!
