I fiddled with this card way too long, mostly looking for the right yellow and almost put an order in for some more, but that would take too long. Today, I finally settled on a black mat with yellow background, and added a little more to my daisies. I wanted this to be a bright cheery card!
The background is stamped in versamark and then embossed with white embossing powder, then the daisies are colored in with a bright yellow.
This is for this week's Teapot Challenge, and the destination is Lighthouse Hospice...a very wonderful cause!
Thanks so much for looking and wishing you a joy-filled day!

I like it! I have both the Simply Said and the Dots and Daisies and hardly ever use them...so I probably will CASE if you don't mind. Thanks so much for sharing

Yay! for you, Traci, for pulling out an oldie but goodie!! This BG works so nicely with the Simply Said Flowers blooming all over the place, it is certain to bring a smile to a patient in Texas!! Love the POP of the black gingham to bring out the yellow of your flowers - fantastic layout too - I love it!!
