Fresh as a Daisy
ETA: Originally posted on Sept. 25. There is strange stuff going on with this post. It’s another disappearing and reappearing post. I know some of you have been kind enough to comment on it, though there were difficulties in accomplishing that. Just now, I found it in my drafts, as though it had never been posted yet. Odd. I’m going to post it again and hopefully get it out of my hair. I wonder what will happen when I hit the “go button”? Well… let’s try it… So sorry for the duplication. Thank you!
I could make all my card designs, from now on, exactly like this and be perfectly happy doing it… but, there’s another part to this story. You can, if you like, scroll down to see this card’s recipe. However, I hope you’ll join me on the Flourishes Newsletter for the thoughts behind this card as well as another very different card with the same set.
I’ll meet you there in a minute!
Stamps: Gerbera Daisies Paper: Classic White Ink: Ranger Distress Walnut Stain, Prismacolor markers for coloring Accessories: Ribbon, Spellbinders Oval Nesties, Cuttlebug Floral Fantasy embossing folder, Scotch brand foam mounting tape
Leslie - I adore both cameos, the fresh look and the vintage. What a lovely and fascinating juxtaposition! You are truly a gifted artisit.

Your card is beautiful.
This is simply stunning! I’ve kept it in my “INSPIRATION” file on my computer - you should feel honored btw because only the cards that make me “gasp” make it into that file. LOL!!!!
Wow, Leslie!! Eye-popping and spectacular!!
If I could color like you I would be happy for life!! Leslie this is incredible. Plus I have such a weakness for ovals… This put me right over the top in love!
(This is the third time I’ve tried to post, Leslie. It just sorta goes to nowhere. So if this shows up three times in your comments… I’m so sorry! lol)
Leslie, your cards are always gorgeous, but I had to comment to tell you how stunnig this card is. I wanna be you when I grow up…..
This is a stunningly beautiful card, Leslie. Magnificent!
WOW!! Leslie, this is absolutely gorgeous! I love those colorful gerbera daisies in all that white! Just outstanding! Your other card is wonderful too, but there’s just something about this that I like more!
WOW - this is just plain stunning! That white embossed piece is so amazing and LOVING the flowers against that.
Absolutely gorgeous!!
Really sorry about the problem you had posting this card…
This card is absolutely gorgeous! I really love the embossed background!
I absolutely love this card! The simplicity of the design and the gorgeous flowers just pops right out and looks sooo pretty! I’ve tried to figure out how you embossed only the one section of the cardfront and not the ends of it?. Also, I’ve been trying to figure out where you used the foam mounting tape and I’m assuming it’s under the Nestie oval? Really do love this! TFS
This is such a beautiful card. Love it.
OOoohh, it is definitely worth many posts — totally lovely — your coloring is over the top and I love all the fresh, crisp white!!! GREAT card!
This is absolutely stunning, Leslie!! Those colors look so beautiful against your white embossed background, and your gingham ribbon is the perfect touch!!
This is a beautiful card, and I wouldn’t mind if it did pop up several times but I only got it once! I am so glad it came thru.
[…] colored with Prismacolor markers on Whisper White cardstock. The card design may be familiar from this card. I used this design again, not only because it’s so easy and I truly love it, but because I […]
This is so lucious! The colors on the flowers are so vibrant, and the embossing looks outstanding here. That gingham ribbon bow is perfect for this. Love it. Linda
