Cheerful Daisies, Spotlight on Nature dies and Unbounded Beauty designer series paper

 

Recently I made a card and embossed in Gold, then I did another embossed in silver, so I wanted to make one with white embossing powder. I saw a beautiful card done by Kathleen Bree with the daisies embossed in white with this beautiful pink designer paper. I changed the die set and sentiment used and left off the ribbon. I stamped my daisies on white cardstock instead of vellum since our vellum is retired and out of stock. I watercolored my flowers instead of using the Stampin' Blends.  I also added an Melon Mambo card base and the pearlized effects. I also opted to do a regular card instead of the book binding fold. I hope you like my version.

I first stamped the daisy on the Pretty in Pink card stock, but then decided I wanted a softer look so I stamped on white and watercolored them. I will post a card tomorrow using the daisy stamped on the Pretty in Pink. I didn’t realize how much I would love the Spotlight on Nature  die set until I used it on this card. You get a set of 12 dies, three nesting sets each set with a different edge. I used one set with Basic White cardstock and a different set (center circle) with the second set. I chose to repeat the first circle on the third instead of using the third pattern, but that would be fun to do also.
