Bizzy Bec's Inspiration

Here's a bit of mid-month inspiration using Bizzy Bec's digital stamps. I have to admit I printed and coloured these peony flowers before I knew how I was goling to showcase them. Originally I thought a CAS with a white card but when I placed them on the cardstock it didn't do much for me.

Plan B - I searched my digital stamps folder on my computer because I knew I had stashes of peonies on it. Then it came to me - Audrey Hepburn. I had previously bought some papers and clipart of one of the best actresses of all time. This is what I came up with. Sorry on my second card I used the peony trio which Bec offered in a giveaway. However, the Peony single can be substituted for the trio. I used some stash paper for the first layer on the white cardstock on both cards. Then I used my digital paper and clipart, finishing the cards off with the peonies on foam tape..

PeonySingle digital stamp

Actually it was a fun way to come up with the card as all I started with was a couple of coloured digital stamps. Maybe now I need to work on all the older coloured images I have in my stash lol.

Bizzy Bec's May Blog Challenge

As always this challenge is "Anything Goes. This month I am working with Daisy Trio and Daisy Single.

For this card I used Daisy Trio digital images in shades of light yellow and orange and placed them in the shape of the rectangle on the card base. The problem I then had was what colour should I colour the single daisy. I had thought of pink to change it up a bit.

I was hanging out some clothes this morning before I had coloured the daisy and all of a sudden a friend came to mind. Joy received her angel wings in 2019 and she loved the colour orange, so my single daisy has to be that colour. I fussy cut the daisies out and used foam tape to adhere to the white card base and foam tape again to mount the single daisy.
