All occasion card featuring a large daisy over a hand decorated background with eyelets and string

Number 8!!  I started a series of cards featuring fussy cut flourished petals and circles and have so far made eight different cards!!  This one features a set of six petals adhered to a circle punchie backer with the petals adhered with double sided tape.  I adhered the circle over the center using tape as well.  I found this coordinating hand decorated background in my stash!!  It matched perfectly!!  It was created with acrylic paint and my fingers!!  I trimmed it it to be short by about 3/4" each way and then tore it in both directions to allow the red of the card front to show.  It would have been preferable had I tore the paper just a little more to the left to allow my daisy to sit more centered on my card but as it is it does not overstep the card edge so I was good to go!!  I added pewter eyelets and used red crochet thread to add a textured element on both the lower left and the upper right.  I adhered the pieces to my card and then added my daisy with double sided tape!!  Done!!  Therese
