Let's Chill Blog Hop!

I am so thrilled to be a part of Simon Says Stamp's celebration of their newest release, Let's Chill, over at the Simon Blog today!  This release has so many wonderful new stamps, dies, embossing folder/die sets, stencils, hot plates/die sets, new inks...PURPLES...very, very cool new blending brushes, and more!!  You HAVE to check it out!!  I have chosen one hot plate/die set to make three cards to share with you today, Small Doodle Daisy, celebrating this fun new release!... 

I know I have said this before, but I am a daisy lover!  When I saw this hot plate, I wanted to make a daisy with a black outline and a yellow center, the black giving the doodles a real doodlely look!  I layered each twice and popped the center one up a bit.  I used a sentiment from one of the new stamp sets, Soaring Birthday, stamped in versamark and black embossed.  Here's a close up...

The second one is the leftovers from the first...

  I had this idea to use the leftover hot foil from the first daisies and put color underneath the black, to show through the daisy outlines. Different, experimental, but hey...never know until you try something!   So...this is what I did...

Daisies and rainbows...my two loves!  One color underneath the daisies wouldn't do, so, I cut 1 1/2 " squares of 8 colors of cardstock, cut them in 1/2 and adhered them to thin cardstock in a circle.  I sprayed adhesive on them and...

...adhered the black foil daisy onto the colored pieces.  I then die cut them, and...rainbow flowers!! I thought the sentiment from the  Groovy Days stamp set fit these black and rainbow, shiny daisies.  My daughters said these reminded them of the scratch off coloring papers they used to do when they were little, I thought the rainbow, the black and the patent leather like shiny black surface reminded me of the 70's...so a groovy birthday sentiment seemed perfect!  Here's a close up with the "shiny"...

The third one...keeping in the simple mode with the classic silver for the hot foil outlines...

Simply done, layered and adhered to a gray background with a sentiment from yet another of the new Simon stamp sets, Flowers for You!  Here's a close up...
