Hi everyone, the craft club I attended recently (more info here) reminded me how much I love this stamp “Daisy Elegance” by Tracy Evans - until 2 weeks ago I had only inked it up once as it is a huge stamp, but the sample in the craft club demo only used part of the stamp, which is a genius idea I hadn’t considered previously! So I thought I’d use it again to make a final entry for Tracy’s current challenge The Colour Purple.
I cut a 6” x 4” piece of stamping card and created a smooshed background by layering Elements inks applied with acetate. When happy with the colour I stamped the focal flower, having masked off part of the stamp. I then stamped some additional script at the bottom from the same stamp, and coloured the flowers and vase with watered down Posca Sparkle Pens. I added a small branched heart and some background stamping using Very Peri, then added white Posca highlights to the flowers and vase, and Spectrum Noir sparkle pen to the water in the vase. I added some white Posca spatters, then stamped the sentiment onto separate card, cut out and attached. Finally I fussy cut a washi tape butterfly to add to the corner, matted the finished piece onto black and purple card stock, and a 7” x 5” card blank, and added Glossy Accents to the flower centres.
This is a very sparkly card, as they go!

In my previous post I mentioned how I went on a walk with an alpaca last bank holiday weekend 🥰… but that was not all! On the way home from that delightful experience we happened by chance across a huge classic car fair at the beautiful Cromford Mills. There really was an incredibly variety of vehicles … here’s a selection.
Take care, and thanks for visiting.
Hugs,

A great idea to use part of a very large stamp and the result is lovely - lots of pretty sparkle too on this one. Some spectacular cars too - thanks for sharing the photos. I seem to have missed a couple of your recent posts - for some reason Blogger doesn't always pop items to the top of my blog list🙄. Loved the cards when I eventually saw them and enjoyed seeing the alpacas as well.
I do love all things daisy and don't they look lovely in mauve. Great card. Thanks for sharing the photos, I am glad you enjoyed your day xx

So pretty! I love your smoosh background effect! And what a car show!! Love the cars! Thank you for joining us in the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge! We look forward to seeing more of your creations! ~ Amanda
A beautifully designed card with this gorgeous set and I am loving all the inkyness and great "helper" stamps you added too!
Fabulous cars at the car show. We have a lot of car shows in our area. I'm not a huge fan of cars but something fun to do here in the "middle of nowhere" midwest USA so we do attend them at least once or twice a year in the surrounding area.
Your card is gorgeous Pauline, beautiful stamping, love the colour and sparkle. Thanks for sharing the photos of the Classic Car show, it looks like a lovely way to spend a summer evening.
Thanks for sharing your gorgeous card at Fab'n' Funky.
