Cheerful Daisies Layered Daisy Cards with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some floral cards for Spring using our Cheerful Daisies Stamps and Dies. These have always been a favorite set of mine, so I had so much fun revisiting them for these two clean and simple cards.

For my first card today featuring the Cheerful Daisies Stamps, I started by stamping a classic white daisy using only the top petal layer of the daisy image, which I stamped with a very pale ink called Barely Beige by Simon Says Stamp. I kept my color scheme yellow and green to match my daisies, filling the background with a yellow polka-dot patterned paper from our Polka-dot Parade Paper pack. I then layered our Botanical Backdrop Die over the top, which I cut from olive green cardstock. 

I cut three extra groupings of leaves by positioning some of my leftover cardstock to run through my machine again with the same die so I could fill in more of my edges with the leafy vines since my two daisies grouped on the bottom were pretty large and obstructed the view of many of the leaves. To add interest, I added some vein details to each leaf with my G07 Copic sketch marker. For my sentiment, I stamped the oversized "Happy Birthday" phrase from our Big Bold Greetings Stamps in Versafine Onyx Black ink. Lastly, I adhered some yellow Citrine Jewels to add a little sparkle and help fill in some visually empty spots.

• Simon Says Stamp Barely Beige (Petals)

For my second card today, I inked up all my gerber daisies from our Cheerful Daisies Stamps in various pink hues, pairing them with the woven basket from our Layered Basket Stamps. To embrace my country feel, I paired the flowers with a scalloped mat cut using our Frilly Frames Hexagon Dies from a lilac gingham print. However, the lilac gingham from our Gingham Pastels Paper pack is a bit more vibrant and it felt like it was competing for attention with the flowers in the foreground. I considered covering it with a piece of vellum, but decided I didn't want to mess with finding a way to hide the adhesive. Instead I applied a layer of white Hero Arts Unicorn Pigment Ink over the top of my patterned paper with a Jumbo Dauber to tone it down and make it appear more muted. This was my first time attempting something like this and while the background is still a bit busier than I wanted, it helped give me the look I was after. I finished my Mother's Day card with a small sentiment from our Puppy Parents Stamps.
