Basic White card – 5” by 3 ¼” – rounded upper left

The rainboots or wellies as we call them in the UK were stamped in So Saffron ink on the smaller Basic White panel. I inked up the daisy image again in So Saffron ink, stamped it off onto grid paper and stamped it on top of the wellies to give them a bit of extra subtle texture.

The stems and leaves were then stamped in Granny Apple Green ink on top of the boots and added the tulips in Melon Mambo. The whole panel was then added to the Melon Mambo panel with Multipurpose liquid Adhesive. I then added it to the card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Cactus Cuties stamp set was stamped in Melon Mambo on one of the strips of Basic White card. I trimmed it down and flagged the end before adding it to the card front.

The sentiment, from the Kite Delight was stamped in Basic Gray ink onto the strip of Basic White card. I masked off the part of the sentiment I didn’t want prior to inking it up. I flagged the end and added the sentiment to the card front using liquid glue and a Dimensional.

Pot of Daisies for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Posted on December 29, 2021January 4, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we have a sketch challenge and I have chosen to make a pot of daisies card using the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the pot of daisies card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Friendly Hello dsp – 5⅞” by 2”
Mossy Meadow card – 5⅞” by ⅜”
Basic White card – 5¼” by 1¾”
Mossy Meadow card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Basic White card – 2¾” by 2¾”
Basic White card – ¼” strip

I adhered the piece of Friendly Hello dsp to the bottom of the Thick Basic White card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

Next, I added Pale Papaya ink to the small panel of Basic White using a Blending Brush. I had tried a panel of Pale Papaya but the colour was too bright and I wanted something more muted. However, I felt the inked panel was to wishy-washy so I ended up stamping the group of daisies across the inked panel in 2^nd generation Pale Papaya ink. I liked this as it gave the subtle texture I was looking for. The panel was then adhered above the dsp panel leaving about ¼” between the two pieces. The strip of Mossy Meadow card was adhered down to cover the edges of both the dsp and the inked panel.

The flowerpot from the Flowering Rain Boots stamp set was stamped on the square of Basic White card in Mossy Meadow ink and the group of daisies added in Basic Gray ink. I used the Pale Papaya Blends Markers to colour in the daisies and So Saffron for the flower centres.

The coloured image was then die cut using the Layering Circle Dies and my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and layered onto a larger scalloped circle cut in the same way with the same dies from the square of Mossy Meadow card. The circle was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment came from the Kite Delight stamp set ad was stamped in Mossy Meadow ink onto the strip of Basic White card and trimmed down with scissors before being added to the card using liquid glue.

To complete the card, I coloured 3 of the Classic Matte Dots using the dark Mossy Meadow Blends Marker and added then to the card front as per the sketch.

I hope you like the card.
