I have made a birthday card with a cute flower die set from Echo Park, along with a sentiment stamp/die set from Simon Says Stamp!...
When I saw this flower die set on Simon's website, Bright Flower Trio, by Echo Park, I KNEW I not only had to have them, but that I wanted to make them into daisies! What I didn't know, at the time, was that I would also change the direction of the leaves, after die cutting them. Below is the online picture...
What do you think of my choice? I DO love that the stems are one piece...the stem and the LONG leaf parts. What is cool is that I scored the leaves and bent them a bit, then adhered the stem/leaf part over the bent leaf like the picture shows...thought it looked kind of cool slightly bent. I also just slightly bent the petals of the flowers, for dimension, like the leaves. I used a pretty Simon Says sentiment stamp/die, and popped it up, with the stems tucked beneath it. I used some very old enamel dots for interest, and an old Papertrey Ink impression plate for the background(love using and using up the classics!).
Here's a close up...
I had so much fun with this set...will always love any opportunity to make a card of daisies!! Hope you are having a great end to this first week in September...almost FALL!! YAY!! Please take care!
