James Daisy Card

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to show you my latest accordion card, I am so addicted to my new Karen Burniston die and just can't stop making them.This time I have used three pages and the lovely promises paper pad from LOTV.  Their James the bear stamp was my star again but this time I have colored him differently to try and make him look a bit more furry.  I like the result and hope you do too.  The technique I used came from a video tutorial from U Tube and I will post a link at the bottom in case it is of interest to you.

I made a coordinating box for the card from centura pearl card using my ultimate Pro

The sentiments stack up on top of each other when it is folded flat 

I used the same scroll die for the box as well as flowers and pearls

 The stamps are a  sentiments set from Lilly of the valley I have stamped them on white card and cut them with a scallop circle die then inked them around the edges with Tim Holtz weathered wood distress ink.  I also used this on the rest of the edges of the papers to bring them  together. The small bears are from LOTV too and called Posy Trio. I coloured the images using my spectrum noir pens useing the technique I mentioned before.  Then I cut them out with a die using the stamping outside a circle techneque (shown on the LOTV website and mounted them on foam pads on top of increasing scalloped circles.

The flowers are from Hobbycraft and the ribbon girl online shop.  I just love the daisy.There is just enough room at the bottom of the die for a flower arrangement.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

Just love how this card looks so different from every angle, it is such fun to make

 A few swirls from my new memory box dies added to the theme and I used some flat back pearls to give it a little wow factor.  Thank goodness for my quickie glue pen, it is a very intricate die, but if I get any glue on the papers it drys clear.  

This is the view from the back, another bow complements the card, as does the final of the three posy trio stamps  They are so sweet and easy to use.
