Inspiration for creating this card came from the “Everything is Coming Up Daisies” challenge at BbtB2.
After searching Cricut‘s design store and other online sources for daisy cut-outs, I decided to instead draw a single petal outline from looking at images of real daisies. I then uploaded it into Cricut Design Space, duplicated the petal several times to get 15 total and arranged them around a basic circle. Once I was happy with the layout, I welded the pieces together.
My daisy is 3 layers (45 total petals), and I used a stylus to add dimension to the petals. For the yellow center, I used a single 1mm piece of yellow quilling paper. I took 3 minutes to add fringe cuts along one side of the paper (which would add texture once the piece was quilled and glued together). I also used a dome quilling mold to shape the yellow piece. You can see a video of me putting it together at the bottom of this post.
The heat embossed greeting is a stamp from the Hero Arts Mother’s Day stamp set (from Michael’s) and Recollections Pearl embossing powder.
The circles were colored using a simple circle stencil with a few different techniques 1) stamp dauber and ink pad was used for the green, and 2) COPIC air brushing for the yellow and red.
For the inside of the card, I used an “Inside Tunnel Card” technique taught by Jennifer McGuire Ink. https://www.jennifermcguireink.com/2018/08/inside-tunnel-cards.html
I used the same custom daisy SVG, at 1”, 1.5”, and 2”, only 2 layers deep. The leaves are from the Cuttlebug Seasonal Foliage Cut & Emboss dies. The butterfly stamp is from Martha Stewart Heat Emboss starter kit, embossed with black recollections powder.
All of the inside items were colored with Copic markers.
