Daisy Garden

 Here is a fun fold card using the 'Garden Daisy' stamp set!

Check out all of the details in these daisies.

This is a Dis'INK'tive stamp & it is so pretty!

This is what it looks like when opened up!

NOTICE how the center part is attached closer to the top of the card base

than it is at the bottom.

As you want to make sure that you have enough room to open up

the card, so that the Oval words don't catch on the card front when opening it.

 

These 2 cards are the same, BUT

I stepped up left one.

I colored the center of the flowers with a Dark Daffodil Delight 

Stampin' Blend & added a little Bumblebee Trinket.

 

Both are so pretty!
