I started by printing the daisies from Diane's Daydream Designs set called BOUQUET OF DAISIES
I then took white paint and bubble wrap. I stamped with the paint and bubble wrap all over the paper. I then took crumpled up plastic wrap and dipped it in the white paint and added it to the dp. Then this morning when I saw the the mixed media challenge was to go back to kindergarten and use crayons on our project. I masked the daisies because I didn't want the crayons to get on them and I took my scissors and shaved several crayons onto the dp and melted them with my heat gun. Then I removed the mask and used white paint to paint the daisies. Then I used prisma colored pencils to color the stems and leaves. I then outlined the daisies with a black ink pen. Then I did the hardest thing ever. I cut the panel. It was almost painful to do it, but I knew it would make a more interesting card if I did it. I added burlap and a twine and button daisy. I wanted to show off my mixed media dp so I put a small strip over the burlap.

This is so beautiful...I always think you should make your artwork on a larger paper to be framed. Your cards really are gorgeous WORKS OF ART. This just jumps out of the gallery.

Marilynn, I wanted to add something else. I smiled when I read your hesitation at cutting into the panel. I'm going to share a secret, lean in close. I not only cut into my panels, but... I cut up my stamps!! Yep, I do it all the time. I snipped the end off a candy cane stamp and snipped it again on the angle to achieve a slanted rain look. I will cut up good dp in a heartbeat too and use it for embellishments. So, you go girl! No more fear!
