Daisy, Daisy

Cotswold Crafter's Card Sketch Challenge was this: 

This is my take on this sketch.  I decided to use my favourite Stampin' Up stamp set "Daisy Delight" for the main image of my project.  I had in the past purchased the DSP (Patterned Paper) for this stamp set but I have been hoarding it I am afraid.  So it seemed a great time to break into it.  

So I started with a Mossy Meadow card stock base (8 1/4 x 5 3/4 scored at 4 1/8").  The next layer I cut was a Balmy Blue layer (5 5/8 x 3 7/8") and then I cut two pieces of the beautiful patterned paper for the top mat (5 3/8 x 3 5/8").  These were adhered onto the card base with double sided tape because there is quite a lot of depth with the rest of the embellishments.  

In my craft stash I found a gold foil die cut strip which was slightly longer than the card base vertically; so adhered with wet glue and and cut the excess off.  I then stamped the daisy image (x3) in Peek-a-Boo Peach and the centre too (but I stamped off the centre first before stamping the flower detailed centre).  I did the same with the leaves, I stamped off with the Mossy Meadow for the leaves that I wanted the detail on.  

The daisies were punched out and I glued these together (I bent the petals slightly using my bone folder); the leaves I fussy cut out with my Snips.  The Daisy was adhered onto the  card front with two foam pads on top of each other.  I stamped the daisy image inside the card and on the envelope too.  On the top of the envelope I also stamped the sentiment "Happy Mail" and the image of the duckling delivering the mail which helps the recipient of my card knows that they are not getting a bill!

Final embellishment was the buttons and the sentiment.  The gold sticker sentiment 'Best Wishes', I got from my craft stash; as I did the (x4) buttons (blue, pink, yellow and green).
