daisy birthday with flower and field DSP

Sale-a-bration started today and I just Love this Designer paper that came free with my first order.  
I love the pretty little daisies  so of course I had to jazz it up with some more daisies!
Mu mother's birthday is coming up soon and thought this a perfect card for her.  Take a base of white cardstock, then I added a layer of so saffron then a layer of the DSP.  I punched out 6-7 medium daisies and layered 2-3 pieces together then uses a little watercolor with water painters to add a soft blue with Pool party. I punched a bunch of leaves , some I tried to emboss it with Tim Holtz tattered leaves but it was a bit too much so on others i just scored it and used a marker to add some veins and with the simplicity of this card it seemed to be more appropriate.

I used Old olive to stamp the sentiment and used pool party markers to outline the story label punch

not sure which set this sentiment coms from- I took it out because I use it all the time and now i can't figure out which box it came out of - I know i know - I shoulda cleaned it up right after - but I have several different stamps i took out and now I can't find their original box - oh well - I'm sure I will run into it one of these days. I had these US ArtQuest mini Prills in "you had me at yellow"  -you gotta love the name!-  I just love the little balls that looks like center of the flowers - I just used the multipurpose liquid glue and let it dry a tad then mounded the balls on - it is so sweet!

I used n old punch to make the leaves but will be looking to see if there a more appropriate die to use in the future.  

I thought I would start the year 2021 with a clean slate but still have a punch of work from 2020 to finish up so have to get back to the grind- but it was nice to take a little time to make a card for someone. I now feel more energized....
