Bright and Cheery

Hello lovelies and wooohooo, it's the weekend at last.

So I thought I'd show you another bright and cheery card I made using the newest set of showcase dies ....

... these here.

It's the same set that I used for the bee card yesterday but this time I used one of the 4 flowers and I went with the daffodil.

Wouldn't this be a nice set if your were making cards for Marie Curie - I only just thought of that!!

So firstly I made my background by just taking a piece of watercolour card, dropping some of the ink from some Nuvo Aqua Flow pens, spritzing it so that the colours ran and leaving it to dry.

Once it was dry, I cut out a piece to go across my card. I added a narrow strip of black card and a lace border in black, cut from the Luxurious Lace die set.

For the daff, I cut out the backing piece in white and the main design in back and glued them together.

I used alcohol pens to colour in some detail but them I cut another flower from the leftover watercolour card and paper pieced the other areas. I wanted the add a bit of texture as these parts would be raised higher as the card is thicker.

You can't really see it here but IRL you can.
