A special Daisy moment

Another Monday is here and it's time for my weekly Visible Image Design Team inspiration post. We are half way through our first themed challenge "Express Yourself" over on Facebook. We need to see you using your Visible Image words or quote stamps as the focal on your project. You can make anything at all; cards, tags, 3D objects etc, just make sure that the only stamps that you use are Visible Image ones. You can enter as many times as you like, the only rule is that any stamps you use must be VI.  If you have not joined the friends' group page just click here to join. It would be lovely to see you there. This challenge is open to everyone, world wide. You could be the randomly selected winner of a £40 voucher to spend on the website. Wow just think of all the amazing stamps you could add to your stash!
For those of you who may be recent readers of my blog I have a real "Jane's Journal" and a "Daisy's Diary" (for my granddaughter) where I put all my special art journal mixed media "Moments" that I have made over the years. They preserve in time my precious family occasions. The week before our darling grandson Jack was born on 21 April I went down to stay as my daughter had some hospital appointments. As it was a lovely sunny day I asked Daisy if she would like to go out to nearby Hellier's Garden for lunch. We went there earlier this year and saw all the snowdrops and daffodils. For this visit it was all about the blossoms...and how pretty they were.

Daisy bent down to admire them.

It was so wonderful to witness the joy of running free as a 3 year old...bless her.

Wherever we go a stick often ends up being befriended 😊

She decided to build a birthday cake using a mole hill, sticks and dandelions ( as you do)

Jack was born 3 days later and I realised that this was our very last Daisy and Nanna outing before his birth. I felt it very important to remember this by making a Moment for her diary. I chose a very apt Visible Image stamp available here

This is what I got up to.

First I added some texture through a vine stencil and stamped and embossed the bottom piece of my Visible Image take the moment stamp.

I worked with these DecoArt mister inks, inspired by the colours of the blossom Daisy and I saw that day.

I sprayed my background, 

and added some flowers through a stencil.

Next I added some script into the background using the amazing Scripted Streets available here

I also stamped some flowers from the Create it set using Distress oxides and fussy cut them out to layer.

I added cracks from the same set to a die cut tree to create bark texture.

I then coloured the tree with distress inks.

Once I had all my elements  ready to put together I made my Moment...here it is.....

with some close ups.......

Such a perfect sentiment

For a perfect Moment I shared with my darling granddaughter.
