Coming up Daisies

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!


I used my NBUS Slim Strips Dies from Pinkfresh Studio to cut strips from a
snippet of Neenah and colored them with various Distress inks and my blending brushes.

After they were lined up, I popped on a couple die cut daisies that I'd sponged some
color on.

Easy and fun and I love having a die to cut these strips with.  Somehow I never
seem to get narrow strips cut evenly!  The set has strip dies in three sizes so
I think I'll get lots of use from them.  They're long enough for slimline cards too.

Challenges:
NBUS - Never Before Used Schtuff




Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

I'm with you Bonnie, I think the dies are a brilliant idea! Your strips are perfection itself and I love the colours you chose - and then those gorgeous daisies! Such a lovely card. Vicky x

Wowie, this is so great, Bonnie! I probably wouldn't have thought to buy a strip die, but it's a fabulous idea! I don't know what happens from one end of the paper to the other, but it's so hard to get strips to cut evenly. Love the beautiful colors you used, and they're such a perfect backdrop for your cute and perky daisies. Couldn't be a happier card!

This is such a cute card. I really like your design.
I like the daisy flower...and I like hearing that name even more sincie my daughter just got a new (rescue shelter dog) named Daisy!

Sigh. I have a feeling this month's NBUS is going to be very hard on my pocketbook! (What a weird word when you think about it. Must look that one up.) That die does make nice even cuts and I love the way you have color blended them, Bon! The daisies and choice of sediment are perfect, too! Thank you for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell

The pastel coloured strips go beautifully behind the prettily coloured MB die cut flowers Bonnie. A gorgeous card! x

I love the way your daisy garden grows: with sugar, and stripes, and everything nice! Such a darling birthday card!
Looking forward to seeing more of your strips, Bonnie!

so pretty and springy. But versatile, because it would be easy to change colors and get a different feel. (although these colors are perfect, in my opinion!)

JoAnn said...

Beautiful card Bonnie. I love your ink blended strips and the daisies are a perfect touch. A lovely, springy card. TFS

Sandy said...

Bonnie, you are the queen of design! This card is so eye appealing and now I feel I have to have those strip dies. This is just great. The daisy was perfect with them. Since it's spring those pastels look fabulous. In case you can't tell I LOVE this one!

Very fun and pretty, love that you added color by sponging it all on!

A daisy delight! Daisy are so under-rated. I adore the colourful pastel strips - Beautiful Bonnie!

Such a nice card in pastel colors. I love these daisies, they have such a nice shape and your coloring has added even more beauty to them. They look great on delicate pastel stripes.
