Today's color challenge was to use Taken with Teal, Real Red, Sage Shadow, and Whisper White. I chose Upsy Daisy to make a special birthday card for Margo, who introduced me to stamping about six years ago....my life has never been the same!!! The basics of this layout I cased from Pickletree's gorgeous card here: Sketchy Birthday Celebration by PickleTree at Splitcoaststampers . This was a little tricky with a circle cutting system instead of nesties. The daisies were colored direct to stamp with SU markers: real red, sage shadow, and thumped with taken with teal. The rest was simply a lot of circle cutting, a lot of paper piercing, and a lot of foam tape to pop up the top panel over the stamped image. And shocker...I did not sponge a thing!!!! (Is there such thing as sponging withdrawal?!)
Thanks so much for looking!

This is really neat looking. I like the way the flowers are inside the circle. Pretty.
