DIGISTAMPS 4 JOY :: DANDELION

I would like to share a CAS card I made, using the very striking "Dandelion" image from the Digistamps 4 Joy store here.

I printed the dandelion image on the white CS, but let it uncoloured.  At its base I used a Memory box die of a row of daisies so that the black CS base showed through. I used a fine black marker to 'doodle' some grass between the daisies (so they had something to grow in - LOL!) and added some lyrics from the song in the 1950 Disney movie "Cinderella".  Tiny gold gems were added to the daisy centres.



I retained the daisies for use on the inside of my card ... stuck them onto a diecut scalloped square that is partially hidden behind a journalling tag.

  12. WOW just love how you have used the negative effect of the die this way. I would not have thought of doing this. Your cards are always such an inspiration.
