Simon Says - Tattered Daisy Take 2

Hello my friends, I'm back to share the second card I made using Tattered Daisy and Honeycomb Tag dies, Honeycomb Stencil and Thanks Always stamp set and dies, some of my favourite products from Simon Says Stamp Moments In Time release. You can check out all the fabulous products in the release HERE.

I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to create 2 - 4" x 5.1/4" panels, applied Wild Honey Distress Oxide ink through Simon Says Honeycomb Stencil using a Mini Round Blending Tool, spritzed with water and dried. I die-cut Simon Says Tattered Daisy from Distress Waterolor card, placed on a sticky mat and coloured with Simon Says Sprout, Pearfection and Field Mini Pawsitively Saturated Ink Cubes using Simon Says Detail Round Blending Brushes. I placed the Tattered Daisy flower heads and centres on the sticky mat and coloured with Rusty Hinge and Wild Honey Distress Oxide inks using the round detail blending brushes.

I assembled the daisies, curled the top petals and fixed to the panel using Simon Says Thin Foam Squares to add dimension.

I trimmed the leaves from the stems and fixed in place tucked behind the flowers using Distress Collage Medium.

I added splatters of Dina Wakley Black Gloss Spray and dried. I die-cut "Thanks" from Distress Watercolor card 3 times and used the negative space die-cut to fix the die-cut letters in place using Distress Collage Medium.

I removed the negative die-cut strip, fixed the next 2 layers in place and stamped the secondary sentiment from Simon Says Thanks Always 4" x 6" stamp set inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.

I die-cut the bee from Distress Black HeavyStock, Distress Watercolor card, Distress Watercolor card coloured with Wild Honey Distress Oxide ink, fixed in place and paper pieced the yellow and white body piecessections. I die-cut again twice from Vellum to create the wings, fixing the second layer of vellum with a dot of adhesive at the point of the wings and curled the wings to create dimension.

To finish I fixed the panel to a Simon Says Stamp Lemon Chiffon A2 card blank.

High winds and heavy rain are forecast for the weekend in my neck of the woods putting a damper on any thoughts of gardening so I guess I'll be retreating to the cubbyhole for some crafting fun. Enjoy your weekend whatever you have planned and I'll see you all on Monday to share my Simon Says Monday Challenge DT project.
