This month we are also celebrating our 1st Birthday and we have a few prizes to give away - check out the details HERE.
I used a small scrap of smooshed background that I had in my stash. I made this a while ago, so I'm not positive, but I believe it is smooshing with Inka Gold and a few distress reinkers (ripe persimmon and picked raspberry). The colours are so pretty and bright. I added a white punched and layered daisy with a gold center, and two die-cut white leaf sprigs. The sentiment was stamped in Delicata Gold ink which matches the colour of the Inka Gold used in the smooshed panel.
Since this bright and cheerful card reminds me of spring, I'm also sending this to the gallery at CAS Watercolour March Challenge - Spring. I hope you'll join us there too! :)
I'm also entering this card into the Snippets Challenge - Week 271 & 272. I used snippets for the smooshed panel, daisy and leaf sprigs (everything except the card base). :)

So pretty and cheery. A lovely daisy always makes me feel happy. And so do those colors in your smooshing! Your cards are wonderful!
Two of my favorite colors together and who doesn't love a Daisy?! I always loved Meg Ryan's line from the movie "You've Got Mail" about Daisy's being such a happy flower and how can you not smile when you see a Daisy!! Beautiful card my friend!! :0)
This is gorgeous no matter which colors you've used! That panel is fabulous, and the daisy and branches in white was a brilliant choice. I love this card!! Have a great day, my friend! How's that cutter working for you? Still loving mine! Bev
What a stunning card Loll! great idea to have the panel topped with white die cuts - it really does look gorgeous!

I love that life-like daisy on your gorgeous smooshed background, Loll.
That daisy looks phenomenal, so pretty on top of that rich colored bg! I was wondering if I could enter my Ink Christmas card for CAS Mix Up but maybe not because my only stamped thing is the sentiment... Bummer! Let's see if I'll make something else -I did enjoy the smooshing technique!
You used one of my favorite color combos and together with the white flower and leaves it makes for a fresh and beautiful card! Love it!
Another gorgeous card Loll! I love the warm colors you used for the background!
Goodness, Loll, that crisp, fresh daisy is just fabulous against the delicious smooshed background ... so lovely! Hugs, Anita :)
Such a wonderful smooshed background Loll and your pretty white flower is perfect and love the gold flower centre which coordinates beautifully with the gold embossed sentiment. x
So Pretty Loll, Love the crisp fresh daisy. Feels like summer is on the way when you look at this card.
Oh, that white daisy looks so beautiful against the coloured bg, Loll!!! Love the gold center of the daisy and the sentiment in gold!!!!! Simply fabulous!!!!

Such a beautiful color palette, Loll! I love how your white bloom and olive branches pop on your design! You always inspire me when you use your Inka Gold waxes on your cards...Thanks :)
