Congrats Joanne aka sleepyinseattle for being chosen our newest Queen for the Day # 61. I have admired your work since the beginning of my SCS experience and appreciated all the sweet comments along the way. This is a well deserved honor, enjoy your reign....
I found this card of Joanne's. I was trying a couple of different effects with the markers and decided to finish all four cards. But only three made it.
I stamped the daisies the first time with markers then stamped over it again with Versamark to emboss. I pierced the lines of one top note, and stitched the lines of another one with some thread. I sponged in clouds and ground and stamped some grass for two of them.
Thanks for looking

Irene, these are great! I love the piercing on the one top note and the stitching. The grasses and clouds are great, along with the beautiful daisies.

Your beautiful cards just bring to mind gazing at fields of daisies - such a simple flower, yet majestic in the way you finished them! Love the way you filled in the BG to hint of the field and the gorgeous sky! Definitely going into my favs!! You always make me smile!!
