Hi everyone. Today I'm sharing a birthday card I made for a lovely friend ... I hope she's received it by now. :)
I started with the Seed Catalog background stamp from The Greetery. I admired my friend Marcia's cards she made using this background. She kindly sent me a few stampings in different inks so I could have a play. LOVE it ... so have already ordered the stamp for myself and it's on the way! :)
This background is stamped with Smoky Slate ink (SU!). I love the soft gray and thought it would look pretty with a blue daisy. I used the photo below as my inspiration.

This is a beautiful die cut daisy Loll, and love the seed catalogue background in that soft grey which complements the bright and pretty flower perfectly. x
That Marcia is a sweetheart! Loved what you've done with her shared panels, Loll. Your blue daisy is the perfect bright and happy addition to it!
Exquisite work Loll - that daisy is so dramatic against the wonderful background. Like you, I love that background stamp - that is fabulous!

I'm not a big blue fan, Loll, but those daisies are gorgeous, both yours and the real one. I will definitely be thinking about making one in blue.
It's gorgeous, that background stamp is fabulous and I love the look of the blue daisy xx
