Cascading Daisies

Hi guys, I'm using the Floral Tags for today's card.  This is a really simple card, nothing too tricky and you probably don't really need a rundown so I will keep it quick.  I have used the Elegance embossibility folder for the background.  Since it is geometric and easily extendable, that is what I have done to create a larger background area (6" x 7").  I cut six of the daisies from the Floral Tag set and inked up two mustard seed, two with spun sugar and two with victorian velvet distress inks. I added a bit of Cosmic Shimmer aurora sparkle glitter to the centres of each flower.   I adhered the daisies so that they were cascading down the card.  I cut out eight of the leaves from the set and inked them with shabby shutters distress ink for a bit of colour and attached them randomly around the flowers.  I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the plain tag die and inked it with spun sugar for a highlight.  I attached the tag in the bottom corner and pierced around the edges for a framed finish.  Just a nice way to say have a great day! 
Just a quick note to say that I see we have reached our blog candy goal of 3000 followers!  I will do the drawing after I finish all the shows I have scheduled this week and post the winners in a special post Thursday afternoon sometime!  All for now, Sue x

I love the whiteness of this card Sue - with just a hint of colour - perfect. The flowers really look as if they are falling down the page, the sort of card that anyone would really like to receive.

Congratulations for the 3000 plus followers!!

Hugs Sue Pass xx
