Isn’t this a bold, bright look for the Daisy Lane Stamp set? I recently attended a “Virtual” Demonstrator Conference on Zoom and one of the events was a color challenge for a card using Cinnamon Cider, Flirty Flamingo and So Saffron. And once I laid out the card stock in those colors, I knew I wanted to use Daisy Lane and the Daisy punches for this card. The trick was figuring out how to get them all on a card so they made sense.
I stamped the daisies and flower centers and punched them out. Once I adhered them to the Cinnamon Sider background, I liked the look, but it needed “something”. I finally recalled a technique that’s been around a while and I am not even sure what it is called. You can get an “all over” textured look by adhering your top layers to the base card stock and then running it through the big shot with an embossing folder. I think it looks like quilting!
You can see how much texture it adds and the designs literally “meld” into the background card stock! For this design, I used the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder, which really gave the card a rich look. Because I wanted the background design to show up as much as possible, I used one of he Stitched Nested Label dies for both the sentiment and the frame. I simply trimmed around the edge of the sentiment to make the frame work. Then, I added a simple bow using the braided linen. This kept the sentiment and embellishment small and neutral looking so the background could be the focus.
I am so glad I remembered this technique. It has been around a while and I know I will use it again. This technique works wonderfully with the new 3D embossing folders. They emboss deep, rich designs that will give your card a special look. You should try it!
