Simon Says Stamp Glowing Daisies

Welcome back to my blog! Today’s project is featuring the Dewdrop Daisy from Simon’s latest release, Shine On. I had seen a photograph of a flower on Instagram that had these stunning colors, and I decided that I was going to try to recreate it with some ink blending! Let’s go ahead and run through 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 a bunch of times from Neenah cardstock. The flower has two layers when assembled, but I opted to add an additional layer for more fullness. The ink colors that I used for the flowers were Carnation, Heather and Morning. I started with the Carnation in the center of each piece and then added the Heather just outside of that, and then added the Morning on the ends of the petals. Once done with that ink blending, I glued the pieces together and added the black center piece using foam tape.

My background was created using a plum colored cardstock that was silver splattered before adding the Whirl Diamond Plate that was cut from Moonflower cardstock. If there are flowers, you know that I have to have lots of leaves! I die cut the Budding Branches several times from Lavender cardstock, as well as from matte silver cardstock. The edges of the lavender leaves were ink blended with some Iris ink for some depth and dimension.

I began the assembly by arranging the flowers and securing the purple leaves first and then the silver leaves, just slightly offset so that you could get a glimpse of everything. The flowers were secured with foam tape for added dimension. The sentiment was stamped onto the same plum cardstock using VersaMark ink and heat set using silver embossing powder. It was trimmed out several times, adhered together and then secured to the card front. Because the Budding Branches have spaces for “buds,” I always like adding embellishments there. I added purple crystals to the purple “buds” and matte silver pearls to the silver “buds” to finish up.

That does it for this beauty! When I showed my friend this card, her reply was, “those flowers are glowing,” hence the name of the post! I thought this was a really gorgeous color combination and enjoy putting this card together. Don’t forget to check out the entire Shine On release over on Simon’s website. Thanks again for stopping by, and I hope you have a wonderful day!
