Donna is one of my favorite card makers, and does magic with distress inks, so I couldn't wait to play, especially as I just picked up this fun Darice embossing folder called Bold Daisy. To me it looks like Gerbera Daisies, one of my favorite summer flowers, and I thought that Donna's colors would be perfect for it.
So I embossed it on thick white cardstock, then went in with my sponge tool and picked raspberry, spiced marmalade, and mustard seed distress inks and colored the flowers. After attaching that panel to my pink card base, I die-cut a Simon small Hello die from gold foil paper and then added some gold sequins to it. Really fast and easy, and I love the bright summery results.
Thanks for visiting today - have a great weekend!
