Today’s card began as an “eclipse-a-daisy,” while experiencing an “oops-a-daisy.”

But, the actual beginning was TGIF’s challenge, to use Perennial Essence or Mosaic Mood Designer Paper.

The paper that caught my eye was the Perennial Essence design that has beautiful, little daisies falling through it.

After trimming the sides with a Be Mine Stitched Die, I grabbed my Medium Daisy Punch, and punched out a daisy. One daisy calls for another, right?

After punching a second round of petals, and attaching with Mini-Dimensionals, I added the daisy center from a yellow spot on the DSP. If you missed the instructions on my notched, daisy center, click on this picture.

Birthday Daisies

I decided not to make a “true eclipse,” because I liked the way the Thick Whisper White card base was peeking through the bottom. 

The daisy stem was made with a die from Sweet Silhouettes, simply cutting off the dandelion top. The leaves were made with Magnolia Memory Dies.

Here’s where the “oops-a-daisy” comes into play. The “love” and “you” dies are from the Well Written Die Set, and somehow, within a matter of minutes, I lost the “you” die. I spent, at least, 30, frustrated minutes searching, because I couldn’t complete my card without it. Besides, I have OCD when it comes to losing things. “Lo and behold,” it had fallen in the trash!

I was able to complete my card with “love you,” in Thick Whisper White Cardstock, matching the stem and card base. Whew!

Thank you for stopping by. May we all find things we’ve lost!
