Flower Power at Imagination Crafts

Good morning all! How are you today? I hope you're fine and happy! My girls had a great day yesterday at their mad science camp - they made slime and played with magnets - sounded like great fun!!!! We're off to my mums today - got to do the shopping and also get our hair cut - trims all round!!!

Today sees the start of a new challenge over at imagination-craftschallengesImagination Crafts Challenge Blog. There's a fabulous prize picked at random at the end of the month but only from those entries that use Imagination Crafts Products and link up to no more than 7 challenges. Please try to remember that this time and you'll stand more of a chance with the goodies at the end of the month. Please check out the rules on the challenge blog carefully x

I was very kindly supplied with a Daisy decoupage stamp- and I used it to make this card:



The decoupage stamp can be bought from the store here - as you can see it has a smaller daisy on it and that is the stamp I used to make this card. I also used the sparkle gel mixed with yellow acrylic paint and the hexagon mask to create the background. The central daisy ring was stamped onto Studio 45 flexible film and heated to giver the flowers a 3D appearance. more of the sparkle gel and yellow paint was used to create the flower centres. The background was built up in layers of DI, sparkle gel and some plain stamping with the daisy. The best Wishes stamp also came in the stamp set supplied.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Divasdivasbydesignchallenge: Fave colour combo - yellow and green
LEJlejdesignschallengeblog: Distress
