Anyone who really knows me knows that white daisies are my favorite flower, hence why my website is www.daisychainfun.com as it had to have the word daisy and a daisy in my logo.  I did struggle with this card being way too white though, so I finally decided to use some of the antiquing spray I have in many different colors and it was exactly what this card needed. 

To create this card, you just need a few things:

• Lemon Lime Twist card stock (Stampin’ Up)
• Lemon Lolly card stock (Stampin’ Up)
• White card stock
• Heart and Home designer series paper (Stampin’ Up)
• Daisy stamp (Reflections)
• Basic Gray Black ink (Stampin’ Up)
• Stampin’ Blends
  • Lemon Lime Twist Light
  • Lemon Lolly Dark
• Willow Walnut Ink Antiquing Solution Spray (Tsukineko)
• Yellow ribbon
• Paper trimmer
• Adhesive of choice

This car is pretty straightforward, it is just a lot of layers.  With some white card stock, cut a card base of 5 ½” x 8 ½” and fold in half to 4 ¼” x 5 ½”.  Cut another piece of white to 2 ¾” x 4 5/8” and one to 5/8” x 2”.  With the Lemon Lime Twist card stock cut a piece to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8” and a second piece to 3 1/8” x 4 7/8” and a third to 7/8” x 2 1/4”.  Then cut a piece of Lemon Lolly to 4” x 5 ¼” and a second piece to 2 7/8” x 4 ¾” and a third to ¾” x 2 1/8”.  Lastly, take one of the white wood designer series papers from the Heart and Home paper pack and cut a piece to 3 7/8” x 5 1/8”. 

Take the white piece you cut to 2 ¾” x 4 5/8”, your Basic Gray ink and your daisy stamp and stamp onto the center of the white card stock piece.  Let dry for a few minutes since it isn’t StazOn ink.  Color the leaves with the Lemon Lime Twist Light Stampin’ Blends and the flower centers with the Lemon Lolly Dark.  Take your stamped piece and the white wood designer series paper and a piece of cardstock or cardboard you can spray on, and with your Willow Antiquing Spray and spray both pieces, then let dry for a few minutes.  On the small white piece you cut stamp the “Happy Birthday” greeting from the Special Someone stamp set in your Basic Grey ink. 

Now let’s get it all put together.  Take the three large pieces and start with adhering the wood designer series paper piece to the yellow and then to the green and finally to your card front.  Then with the middle size pieces wrap your daisy stamped piece with yellow ribbon and tie into a knot toward the left side.  Now adhere your stamped daisy piece to the yellow and then to the green and now to the center of your card front.  Layer up your small pieces with your Happy Birthday and adhere that over the ribbon.

For the inside take the “a very special day…” and the “for a very special someone” greeting stamps from the Special Someone stamp set and stamp in the Basic Gray ink, and then the flower stamp in the lower left corner.  

There is a birthday card for anybody who loves daisies or flowers in general.
