Daisies Archives - Shannon Kay Paperie

Daisies and dragons, sigh. What could be better? Pairing them up with a fanciful color combination, that’s what! I came across this darling paper while going through some old supplies and fell in love. Then my mind connected it to the Magical Dragons stamp set by MFT Stamps that I had recently purchased and a card idea was born!

As you can see, I used dies to create just about everything so no measuring involved! I began with a base of Mama Elephant’s Femme Frames and added some stitched die cut pattern paper shapes.

I stamped the dragon (I named her Isabella) in Versafine Onyx Black and colored her with a combination of Copic, Shin-Han, and Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers. I also stamped some darling daises from Whimsy Stamps (those are fussy cut, no dies) and arranged everything onto a popped up stitched scalloped circle. Another die, this one by Hero Arts, and coordinating sentiment complete this whimsical card.

The daisies have had a subtle sparkle added to them with Wink of Stella around the petal bases and did you notice the tiny sparkles? If you zoom in on the blue pattern paper you can see the tiny sparkles all over it – swoon!

I had SO much fun creating this card – thank you for stopping by to take a peek!

Hello and welcome to a new challenge from The Paper Players! This one is from Ann…

Great sketch, Ann! I can’t wait to see what you all do with it! Here’s a bit of inspiration to get you going this morning…

Aren’t those daises delightful? And the perfect size for my stitched oval die! I picked a few coordinating papers for my background and then colored my daises to compliment. I recently invested in a few Copic Markers and this card is my first attempt to use them! I know I have a lot to learn, but it sure was fun to color!!

I didn’t have two colors of yellow close enough to blend well, so I just added a second layer of color, keeping it away from the edges. I think it looks great, and a liberal dose of Wink of Stella doesn’t hurt either!! It’s nice that you can just see a bit of it in this photo.

The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted Stamps. I chose it because I felt that the dainty font complimented the dainty flowers well. A few Marshmallow sequins from Pretty Pink Posh are the perfect jewelry!
