Daisy Grunge

 Good morning it's time for my fortnightly design team make for Visible Image. Today I am sharing a make using another of the fab new summer release stamp sets. This release is going down a storm which is no surprise se as it really is awesome. These are the 6 new stamp sets and 3 stencils.

 Visible Image are launching the whole new release on Crafters TV today so do tune in. Mark will have lots of demos to share.

Tune in at 12pm, 3pm & 7pm BST 

7am, 10am & 2pm ET 

You can watch on the Crafter's TV Facebook page, Crafter's TV YouTube channel, or on the Crafter's Companion website! 

 They will also be on Hobbymaker TV this Friday 28th. You can also still pre order on the website, to be sure to be the first own these lovely new stamps and stencils as I have a feeling these may well sell out on the TV shows!

 The set I chose to work with today is called Daisy Grunge. It is proving to be a best seller which is no surprise as it really is a gorgeous set. Plus anything which has my sweet granddaughter's name in it has to be pretty awesome! 

I made a slimline card and this is what I got up to;

 I made my background using kitsch flamingo, salvaged patina and wilted violet distress inks. Just the usual Tim Holtz smooshing method of pressing the inks onto a craft sheet with added sprays of water, dipping in some mixed media card and drying between layers. I cut a panel 10.5 X 20cm from this,

I stamped the whole large daisy in black Versafine ink and clear heat embossed, plus an extra centre (for some extra dimension and used further on) onto white card and cut them out. I coloured the separate and the whole daisy centres using  mustard seed and squeezed lemonade distress inks.

I then cut the daisy with the coloured centre into 4

and stuck each quarter around the edges of the background.

I then stamped the daisy again in the top half of the card.

and added the separate cut out centre. 

I stamped one of the sentiments, adding the tiny daisy in the set at the sides, for some detail. I coloured the centres of these tiny daisies yellow too.

I then matted onto black card and glued it onto a card blank. A couple of sequins were added as my very much loved finishing touch.

Here is my finished card.

with a close up,

 and one final shot;
