Happy Birthday Miss Daisy!!!


September was a big month for birthday's at work. This card was for "Miss Daisy", our head secretary. It is my first attempt with the Brayered Sky technique. I love how it turned out, and will be using it a lot in the future! I'd love to show you and your friends how to do it, let me know when you are interested and we'll get together for a workshop!

Stampin' Up may need another punch for the oval series. "Birthday Celebrations" wouldn't fit in any of the smaller ovals, so I punched both the words and the black matting with the Wide Oval Punch, then used the edges of the black oval to mark the curve to trim the white oval.

Here is the recipe: Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie and Dusty Durango. Ink: Basic Black Craft Ink; Barely Banana, Pumkin Pie and Dusty Durango Classic Inks. Stamps: Upsy Daisy. Accessories: Brayer, Wide Oval Punch, Dusty Durango Dotted Grosgrain, Black Embossing Powder, Black Stampin' Write Marker and a Flower Designer Brad.

Tonight I'm going to make 20 cards to display at Christmas and Pizza. Does that sound a bit over ambitious? I think I can do it! I'll let you know tomorrow. And, I hope to see you at Round Table on October 15th!
