Blue Daisy

Welcome to this week's LIMES inspiration post!

I chose this card as my inspiration from the gallery of this week's Splitcoaststampers' Featured Stamper!

LIST: Colours (white, blue, yellow, green), Techniques (die cutting, dimensional flowers), Elements (background circular die cut, dimensional bouquet of flowers tied with blue gingham ribbon)

INCLUDE: white, blue, yellow, die cutting

MODIFY: stenciled background instead of die cut, flat (but popped up) single flower instead of bouquet, 

EXCLUDE: green, ribbon

SPIN: square card, added jewels

The dramatic bouquet in the inspiration card is amazing! I love the pop of white and yellow against blue and I immediately thought of this daisy shaker die I have. 

I used a circle mask and a stencil to create my blue background element, using two shades of blue to add subtle interest. 

I backed my daisy die cut with a circle die cut, to keep all the petals in place (they would normally pop out if you're making a shaker with this die). I used another circle for the base of my flower centre and then one of the fancy flower centres that came with the daisy die set.  I finished it with some white gems.
