All occasion card featuring a few simple daisies with a tied ribbon over a pieced background with seam binding

I started with a large gray card and added the purple plaid background which had to be pieced from scraps so I added a piece of coordinating seam binding to hide where they join.  I ran the pattern tracing wheel on all four edges before adhering it to my card front.  The little daisies were laser printed and then I added a large wash of just water and started adding colour to the puddle until I was happy with it.  I then added just a bit of purple to the flower petals and it ran very nicely outside the lines!!  I really like how it turned out.  Gives a softer painterly look to the flowers.  I paper pierced around the edge an then layered it onto a double piece of coordinating cardstock.  Next, I added some purple satin ribbon to each corner - tying a bow in the upper left hand corner.  I mounted them to my card front using 3D foam tape.  This one is off to my youngest daughter for Mother's Day.    Therese
