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
