I hope to brighten an ill aunt's day with these die cut daisies in rich fall colors. If you are a regular reader, you know how much I love fashion and home d?cor magazines for inspiration. The patterned chair (below) from a Crate and Barrel catalog got the creative juices flowing.
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
The card base is 4 1/8" x 5 3/8, scored on the top. It's slightly smaller than a standard A2 (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") card so that I could allow the daisies to "overflow" on the sides but still fit in an A2 sized envelope.- Layering die-cut shapes creates a quick and colorful background.
- I use Stampin' Dimensionals on almost every card. 3D can take a simple card to wow.
- A single rounded corner and Jumbo Brads make an elegant statement on on the sentiment.

That’s it – I am digging my catalogs out of the recycle box and see if it works for me! Hmm the last one I put in there was the Hog one (Harley gear) – that should make an interesting card 🙂 Love the flower bursts Mary!
What a fun card!! Love it!
very beautiful, Mary, as always!
Love it Mary! I love the tip for making the card a little smaller so the card will fit in the envelope. A beautiful card for your Aunt 🙂 xx
Very cute. I’m so happy you are sharing your inspirations with us.
I love this card, Mary, and your inspiration was definately obvious. Once again you have challenged me to get outside of my box and try something totally original. Thanks, and I hope your aunt feels better very soon.
