Daisy Lane Smile

One of my goals for the Daisy Lane class was to use each image in the stamp set on at least one project.  This card, CASE'd from Gina Connor, uses the pretty open daisy image that doesn't coordinate with a punch.  So I taught my attendees a masking technique so that the flowers appear to be in front and behind each other.

The pretty, soft colours of Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo, So Saffron and Soft Sea Foam work well with the neutral Sahara Sand card base and sentiment ink. 

We used a large Stitched Rectangles Die to trim the top and bottom edges of the sentiment strip to get the stitched detail.  I dug into my stash of retired baker's twine  to find this Pool Party version...along with the rhinestone dot on the "i" it's the perfect finishing touch.

You, too, can join me for class to make beautiful cards...all the details are below!
