Combining Old and New

 Hello friends.  I was inspired by a couple of challenges to create my card today.
Just Us Girls - Die Week: Forgotten Favorite and Triple B Challenge - inspired by the white daisies in their mood board.
 

I had these MFT Uspsy Daisy Dies out for my card the other day and thought they would be perfect for these two challenges.  I have had them for over 12 years and love them.  I thought they would be perfect for the white daisies in the Trible B mood board so I cut 3 of them and layered them together, adding the yellow centers.  I added some Wink of Stella to the centers but it doesn't show up well in the photo.  I embossed a panel of Beige cardstock from a Recollections pack with my new Altenew Crisscross Blooms EF and glued it to a white card base.  The stem and leaves are cut using Simon Says Stampe Layered Perky Flower - I clipped the blooms off and added the white daisies.  The sentiment is from SU Go To Greetings (ret.) and mounted with foam tape.

I will also add this to Darnell's NBUS #88 Mutual Appreciation Celebration as this is the first time using the Altenew EF. Be sure to check out Darnell's post on this wonderful challenge.  She has done an excellent job inspiring all of us.

Thanks so much for topping by.  Have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping,
JoAnn

  5. I'm glad I'm not the only one who, um, "grafts" die-cut flowers onto the leaves and stems of other flowers! It really worked well with these daisies, JoAnn! I love the e/f background, too! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! And thank you for your kind shoutout! Hugs, Darnell
