Welcome to my blog!  For my project I tried to squeeze in as many of the new products as I could in one card.  They are the Slimline Brick Background die, Whimsical Layering Daisies dies, Oopsy Daisy stamps and the Oopsy Daisy matching dies.  Let's check out my card.

Let's talk about the process.  I ran the Slimline Brick Background die through my die cut machine.  When I took it out, I carefully added tape to the back side so the pieces would stay in place.  Next I inked it up with Fired Brick and Aged Mahogany distress inks.  I splattered it with clean water, dabbed it off and dried it with my heat tool.

I wanted my bricks to look more aged and add some sort of texture.  I grabbed a semi-translucent embossing paste and a craft spatula.  I just spread some of it on here and there.  The added benefit was that it seemed to actually brighten up the colors on my panel.

I set that aside got to work on creating ink smooshed watercolor papers to cut my daisy pieces from.

The light panels on the left are Antique Linen.  The panels in the middle are Mustard Seed, Wild Honey and a touch of Ripe Persimmon.  The panels on the right are Shabby Shutters and Peeled paint.

I glued the brick panel onto a white slimline card base.  I added a generous amount of metallic dark silver splatters.  I laid out all of the daisy pieces onto the card.  Once I liked the positions, I used a piece of Press 'n Seal to pick them up.  I worked my way through each flower.  Liquid glue for the flat pieces and some of the flower centers are popped up with foam tape.

I stamped and die cut one of the bees from the Oopsy Daisy set.  I colored the bee with a Y15 copic marker on the body.  I used BV0000 for the wings.  I popped it up with foam tape and added it to the flower.  I did go over the wings with Unicorn Stickles.  The sentiment also came from the Oopsy Daisy stamp set.  I fussy cut it out as well as the black shadow layer.  I put foam tape on the back before adding it to the card.

Another view so you can see the embossing past texture.

That's it for me!  And if you saw something you liked, you can use code STCBLOG10 for 10% off your order in the Scrappy Tails Crafts store!
