And I also used this Hero Arts/ Studio Calico stamp set, HeyDey Sentiments. So then, of course, I had to use yellows. I die-cut the daisies once from the yellow gingham paper, and a 2nd time from white cardstock. Then I colored in the stems and the yellow parts of the flowers on the white diecut and inserted it back into the negative die-cut of the yellow gingham.
I used the negative of another die on my 2nd card, too, but this time I just let the background shine through to give the detail.
The colors on this card were pulled from the dotted panel from BoBunny's Little Miss paper pad. I used the Oh Happy Day die - so versatile! I paired it up with a partial Hero Arts sentiment from this set, framed up the panel and added a die-cut flower and leaves. This pink, green, and brown/kraft color combination is one I love
