Daisy, Daisy

 

Hello! 
Welcome to my little crafting place! 
 
Today is Friday, so its Daring Cardmakers Day and I'm actually managing to post on the right day.  If not exactly early...
This week Joanne is sending us round in circles - which, to be fair is my regular state of mind!

Joanne here this week and I’d like to see 

circles 

You might use circles as a design element, frame a focal point with a circle, stamp an object that contains circles (bikes have wheels, clock faces, dream catchers etc).

See some circular inspiration from the design team HERE      

Its been a while since I made a Circle card and they are fun to make - its all about getting the balance right so that when they stop rolling they are the right way up! For this one, it was easy - I just added more leafy sprigs until it was right!

As it happened I had a circle already cut from a piece of card embossed with the new Leafy Helix embossing folder, and I also had spares of the pink and white daisies I'd been using on other projects.  The sentiment was from a set I'd made and printed in a 'useful' shade of green that seems to work with lots of projects!

 

I used a circle die to cut the base card then added the flowers and sentiment. I cut out one each of the leafy dies and cut them into pieces, then tucked them amongst the flowers, standing the card up every now and then to check whether it was correctly balanced.

Items Used:

Leafy Helix Embossing Folder 

Just a Note about my Links
The links to the items used are my share-a-sale links which mean that if you use them I may get a small 'thank you' payment
  HERE, also is my Affiliate Link to the Spellbinders store - you can use this at any time to access the store, and I'll really appreciate it if you do
Using these links doesn't cost you anything at all!
There's a UK based shop now, so you can use the 'Visit Our UK Store' button at the top right of any page on the Spellbinders site 
thank you!

Am I the only person who loves it when I find that it was worth saving all those bits and bobs from other projects because they come together to make something else?
 
Thank you so much for coming by.
 
 Happy Crafting, Take care of yourself,
Kathy xx

  1. You really do have the patience of a saint when it comes to die cuts, I’d probably give up long before I ever got a circle card to balance let alone one with an explosion of daisies like this — love it!
