LIST: alphabet background, offset rectangle focal panel, red flowers, blue sky, watercolor technique, stitched die cut edges, white stamped sentiment strip
INCLUDE: rectangle with stitching around it and blue/green inside,
MODIFY: one flower, pink rather than red, heat embossed 'birthday' background
EXCLUDE: alphabet
SPIN: square card
I started by creating my background panel using a technique from my latest video - I put a bunch of birthday-themed stamps on an acrylic block and stamped it repeatedly. This time I stamped with embossing ink, heat embossed with clear powder and then spritzed Distress Oxide sprays over it.
I cut my solid daisy from white cardstock and spritzed it with Distress Oxide sprays (look closely, you can see yellow and purple 'speckles', which is a hallmark of these sprays.) I attached the open daisy die cut only at the centre, to allow more dimension between the two layers of petals.
I created my frame with one of the Essentials for Stitching Rectangles dies placed outisde an Essential Rectangle die - I love this look!

Ardyth, this is such a great case of Anna-Karin's card. I love the frame opening with the die cut circles. The background is perfect for your big daisy. It reminds me of the days of "flower power".

Fabulous CASE of Anna-Karin's card. Love your bright colors -- especially the bg. I will be checking out your latest video for sure. That bright flower is so happy both in look and color, it's perfect on this panel. Great card.
