Altenew Lush Botanicals African Daisy

Hi Peeps...

Well, today's card is really quite simple - but I've got to say it myself, very effective!

I recently bought a new die and embossing folder set from Altenew - it's the Lush Botanicals African Daisy.   It's a really small set, with just three of the petal dies, and two of the centre bits.  It's very easy to put together, as it has their 'keyhole' in the centre to match up with each part.  Anyways, I cut the petals from pink cardstock, then darkened their centres with an alcohol marker.  I coloured another scrap of card with yellow, then diecut the centres (not sure what they're called) from that.

Now the exciting bit!  I popped them into the embossing folder that comes along with the dies, locating them into the correct position, and run them through my machine!  Wowzers - I was amazed how they turned out!  I adhered the flower together, then popped tiny bits of foam tape on the back of each of the petals to give shape... then adhered the flower onto a circle of white card.  I added a circle of gold mirri card onto the back, so it was showing a gold border, then I used dottie cardstock in pink and a pink mat to finish.

I decided not to add a sentiment, as I'm not sure what I'm going to use this card for - I may just leave it without, just to brighten someone's day!

Hope you like....
