I wasn't going to do the Clean and Simple challenge this week because I didn't think I had the time. It was an inspiration challenge based on a cool art print site and once I saw this print, I knew I just had to participate.
I absolutely love the SU! daisy die and I just love the simplicity of that stunning print. I ended up using two large daisy diecuts and one middle-sized one. I sponged so saffron ink on around the inside of all three daisy diecuts and then adhered them together, off-setting each of them so that all the petals are visible. I added a pumpkin pie corduroy button to the center of the daisy, to mimic the flower's center in the picture.
The daisy was attached to matted pumpkin pie and basic black cardstock. This mat was adhered to a whisper white cardbase. I tied a length of striped pumpkin pie ribbon around the lower portion of the cardfront and added a basic black stamped birthday sentiment from the "A Little Birthday Cheer" set in the lower right corner. This was a super quick and easy card to make!
