Card Details:
The card base is Thick Whipser White Cardstock cut to 5.5 in x 8.5 and scored / folded at 4.25 in.
Tranquil Tide Cardstock was cut to 4 in x 5.25 in and adhered to the card base with Fast Fuse Adhesive.
Early Espresso Cardstock was cut to 3.5 in x 4.25 in and used as a mat under the Whisper White Cardstock that was cut to the same size. Prior to adhering the Whisper White to the Early Espresso, it was sandwiched between the 3D Dynamic Textured Impressions Hexagons Embossing Folder (whew, long name) and zipped through the Big Shot.
I cut a 6 inch piece of the All New 1/4″ Copper Trim and wrapped it around the Whisper White and Early Espresso card stock prior to adhering it to the base with Stampin' Dimensionals (used to hold the copper trim and cardstock in place, another double bang for your buck).
I used the Layering Circle Framelits Dies (in conjuction with the Big Shot) to cut the Tranquil Tide and Early Espresso Cardstock as the circle mats under the daisy.
I stamped the Daisy from the Daisy Delight Stamp Set in Early Espresso twice and then quickly cropped them out using the All New Coordinating Daisy Punch. I alternated the petals to make the daisy look more full then adhered the two pieces together with a Mini Glue Dot.
The Three Bees are from the Dragonfly Dreams Photopolymer Stamp Set. They were also stamped in Early Espresso Classic Ink and then fussy cut / snipped with the Paper Snips. I added some shimmer to each the bees by brushing them with the Clear Wink of Stella Brush. You can see the shimmer in the photo below.
The Thank You Sentiment is from the Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set. I stamped it on a scrap piece of Whisper White and quickly flagged the end using the Banner Triple Punch (my go-to punch).
The final touch to the card was added by the Gold Faceted Gem adhered to the middle of the Daisy. The perfect embellishment to represent the middle of a cone flower.
I always like to coordinate my envelopes with the card. This time I stamped the daisy (twice, 2nd one rotated slightly from the first) on both a Whisper White Medium Envelope and the inside bottom left corner of the card.
