Hi there
I've managed some crafty time, in between gardening and stuff.
There's always stuff isn't there?
Anyhoooo...........without further adoooo
Smile......go on Smile.....it exercises your face muscles :)
I've been following a lovely blog by Anita - NeetandCrafty
and feeling in a CAS (otherwise known as clean and simple) mood in
the Craft Room...........
I stamped and masked the daisies..........using sticky notes,
masked off a border with stencil tape ......not as tacky as masking tape,
and doesn't tear your project....ask me how I know that :),
and used a sponge brayer to add ink.
Below is the inside...
I used my Stamparatus (see above) to stamp the "smile".
I left the masks on the daisies, just in case, and was able to get a nice black sentiment
by stamping it three times.
I then decided I liked the smaller daisy more....and chose a brighter colour
(Mango Melody instead of Balmy Blue)
I added some stalks this time..........and used a black fine liner where it wasn't black enough.
I think this is my favourite, what do you think?
Do pop over to Anita's blog......she has some lovely elegant designs and ideas.
I'm linking up with PerfectlyCleanandSimple Masking challenge too,
as there's lots of masking done here :)

AWESOME inkiness here. Love BOTH cards, and I think I agree with you about the fave one being orange.

These are so gorgeous Lesley - I always think masking off the edges of cards gives a lovely neat dimensional look without the bulk of layers. Lovely ink blending too! I'm a fan of Anita's as well - love her style :)

Beautiful! Love the gorgeous mango melody background for your masked daisies. Thanks for joining us at Perfectly CAS. Please note that part of our rules state "coloring" one third or less of a card.
