Daisy Grunge

Hi everyone, today’s card is a birthday card -  the weather seems to have been relentlessly cold and miserable so I was in the mood to make something bright and cheerful!

I stamped the daisy onto a square of card, masked it then daubed some Distress Oxide onto acetate, spritzed with water and smooshed around the image. When dry I added some soft stencilling and 2nd generation script stamping, then stamped the bee.  I removed the mask and coloured the daisy centre and bee with watered down Posca sparkle pens, and the petals and bee wings with Spectrum Noir sparkle pen. I added some 2nd generation stamped spatters, then stamped and heat embossed the sentiment on black card, cut out and attached. 

Here’s an angled picture to show the shimmer a bit better.

I also decorated the envelope to match, though I blended the background as the envelope wouldn’t hold water (don’t ask me how I know!) and coloured the daisy centres with Sakura Stardust pens.
