A Day For Daisies - A Special Flower

 

Happy Saturday!

Today, I have a birthday card for our grand-niece to share.  It uses a digital image from a Day for Daisies - A Special Flower.  I'm excited to say A Day For Daisies web-shop is back up.  I had posted in May and it was down for maintenance. 

I colored the image with Copic markers and paired it with Basic Grey "Kneehighs" patterned papers I found in the cupboard.

A Day For Daisies - Flower Maiden 1

Happy Saturday!

Today, I have a couple cards I made with a digital image from A Day For Daisies called Flower Maiden 1.  This is one of those images I purchased over 4 years ago and I don't think I ever used until now. I love the whimsy and elegance of this image, all at the same time.  I think it makes a perfect image for a birthday card.

I colored a few of these images, different hair colors and different dress color.  Above, I colored a blonde maiden in purple.  I tries to match hair color and favorite colors of the person I was making the card for.

Patterned Papers: My Minds Eye Graceful

Copic Colors: V12, V15, V17, YR21, YR23, YR24

E00, E01, E11, E21, E31

A Day For Daisies - Flowers in Bottles

Happy Saturday!

Today, I have a card using a digital image from A Day For Daisies - Flowers in Bottles.   I hadn't used a digital image in awhile so I printed several different images and started coloring while watching TV.  I should do that more often it was very productive.  

A Day For Daisies was one of my favorite digi shops, they closed a few years ago and it doesn't seem like they ever reopened.  You can find images on pinterest and the blog is still up. They gave a lot of free images if you went to their blog and joined their challenges. 

To use a digital image, I use Word to size the image and get multiples on the page.  Then print.  I have a laser printer, which works best.  The ink is heat set so you don't have to worry about ink smearing when coloring.   I use X-Press it cardstock in the printer for these images to color with Copic markers.

Cardstock: PaperTrey Ink Aqua Mist & Smokey Shadow

Patterned Papers: Pebbles Seen & Noted

Copic Colors: BG000, BG10, R21, R22, R24

A Day for Daisies - Beauties

Happy Saturday!

A Day For Daisies images.  The first image is 'A Braid in my Hair'.

This card was made for my sister.

My second card uses the same layout, different AD4D image.

This is Pearls in my Hair, which I thought was perfect for our

niece's 16th birthday.

I used a Taylored Expressions die, Ray of sunshine cutting plate, to create the sun burst pattern.  The papers are My Mind's Eye Lost and Found. I think the die cut makes a really dramatic effect.

Happy Saturday!

We have a new sketch at Sketch Saturday!  Our sponsor this week is A Day for Daisies with a $12 gift certificate going to one lucky winner.
