Simon Says Stamp Mini Slimline Daisies

Hey There, and welcome back to my blog. I’m so glad you stopped in to check out today’s project featuring the new Tattered Daisy and Thank you Text background stamp from Simon’s latest release, Moments In Time. Let’s get into the details for this one!

NOTE: all supplies are linked in the thumbnails at the end of this blog post.

I began by die cutting the daisy five times from Neenah 110lb cardstock, and cutting the stems from Fern cardstock. I then did some ink blending on the flowers using Bubblegum, Sunbeam, Honey, Seafoam, Surf and Heather inks and then assembled the flowers. I was too lazy to go back and cut the centers from black cardstock, so I just used my Rainbow Splash Black ink pad to color those.

The background was created by stamping the Thank You Text onto a panel of Neenah and heat embossing it using Detail White Embossing Powder. I then used the same inks from the ink blending and smooshed them one at a time onto my glass mat with a spritz of water and did some smooshing onto the panel using a piece of left over plastic from packaging. Because I had white on white embossing, it was quite hard to tell which direction the text went until I added the ink, of course! I had originally wanted the rainbow to go from left to right, but that didn’t work out, so I sucked it up and just went with it, because again, I was lazy.

The sentiment, which is from the Thank You Basics set, was stamped onto black cardstock using VersaMark Ink and heat set using the same white embossing powder as before. I trimmed that down and began assembling the card.

I decided on placement and glued the stems to the panel while the flowers were adhered using foam strips. I trimmed off the stems and adhered the sentiment with foam strips as well. This was then adhered to a black panel before being adhered to the card base, and some clear drops were added to finish this project up.

I don’t normally do mini slimline cards, but this design warranted a larger canvas to achieve the rainbow pattern. I hope you like it! It certainly was a fun project to work on! Don’t forget to check out the entire Moments In Time release, and have yourself a fabulous day!
