Daisies are my most favorite flowers as they are simply beautiful, literally! What is your favorite flower? It’s been some time since I’ve participated over at The Paper Players. I love the “Don’t Bug Me” theme (#PP654)! I knew immediately that I wanted to use Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the Dragonfiles Punch for this card challenge. And yes, I love Dragonflies!

Putting It All Together
I love to create SIMPLE cards and add a bit more SWEETNESS to them! Start off by cutting your cardstock and ready your cardbase. I don’t normally do the following but I wanted to share this TIP. If you are running low on cardstock, you can punch (depending on the punch) or die-cut from the panel that will lay behind another panel, in this case the Fresh As A Daisy DSP panel. See image below. It doesn’t affect the outcome of the card so no one is the wiser if you choose to do this step.
Use Multipurpose Glue to adhere DSP to the Crushed Curry panel. I came in from the edge of card 1/2″ to adhere panel(s) to the Basic White card base. Stamp sentiment on Crushed Curry cardstock. I like to stamp the sentiment 2 or 3 times using Memento Tuxedo Black then I stamp it again using VersaMark (I use a stamping tool). Add Clear Emboss Powder and heat set with a Heat Tool. I LOVE embossing!
Once the sentiment label is done, pop it up with Stampin’ Dimensionals. When placing the sentiment label, leave 1/2″ from the edge of outer card. Punch three small Dragonflies (or you can use the larger one) and pop them up with Mini Dimensionals. Add Clear Wink of Stella to completely cover the Dragonflies. Anytime I can add Clear Wink of Stella, I DO! Love, love, love that stuff!
That’s it! Well . . . not really! I had to make some more cards but with different sentiments. All of the sentiments are from the Layering Leaves Stamp Set (Photopolymer). The middle card uses a die from the Cheerful Daisies Dies, which I added to the Product Table. And yes . . . you, too, CAN DO THESE CARDS!

Thank you for your SWEET comments Ann! For some reason I forgot to add a close up of my Dragonflies. They shimmer with Clear Wink of Stella! I love that stuff AND card challenges!
Beautiful card! I love your color choices as well as the Wink of Stella on the dragonflies! Thanks for playing over at The Paper Players Challenge.
Thanks Tara! I use Wink of Stella whenever I can on my projects! 🙂
Lovely dsp and how do I not have that dragonfly punch? So cute and I bet they sparkle in real life!
