Happy Thursday to you! Today’s card is my second as a Seize the Birthday Party Guest Designer. The theme, or “Toppings,” for the next two weeks is “rainbow,” so I created whimsical, rainbow, daisies.
I began by using Stampin’ Blends to color a rainbow across Whisper White Cardstock. I used these colors, in this order: Light Poppy Parade, Light Pumpkin Pie, Light Daffodil Delight, Light Old Olive, Dark Pool Party, and Light Highland Heather. They are in my Product List below. Then, I used the Medium Daisy Punch to cut six daisies, moving across my colored rainbow.
Next, I shaped the petals with my Bone Folder. It’s not a tool I mention often, but it really comes in handy.
TIP: Hold the daisy firmly in the center with one hand. With the other hand, gently curl the petals with the Bone Folder in a downward motion.
After curling, glue two petal rounds together at the the center. Use the 1/2″ Circle Punch to create the centers from Designer Series Paper. This dot has retired, but you can use your imagination.
I wanted my whimsical daisies to stand out against their background, and chose a Thick Whisper White card base with a layer of Whisper White cardstock. Texture was added with an Friendly Silhouettes die-cut of foliage across the bottom.
All that remained was the sentiment, “Birthday Wishes,” (Birthday Wishes Stamp set) that I stamped in Memento Black Ink.
Thank you for visiting! I’m looking forward to seeing your birthday cards in the Seize the Birthday Gallery!

Just Beautiful love your creativity
This is such an inventive way to satisfy the rainbow topping option! I love how clean and graphic the card still looks, and the slightly muted tones you chose. (Me, I would have likely had the real red out! :D) Beautiful card.
Very stunning
