Instructions:

1. Stamp & punch out 2 large daisy images from the 5 ½” x 2 ¾” strip of Whisper White cardstock using Smoky Slate ink and the Daisy Punch. Use a bone folder to slightly curve the petals for added dimension. Adhere daisy images together with centers overlapping and petals offset to make a full daisy. Stamp large daisy image on a scrap of Daffodil Delight using Daffodil Delight ink and punch out the center using ½” Circle Punch. Adhere circle to daisy center using a dimensional. Apply Wink of Stella to the daisy center.
2. Layer the 3 remaining Whisper White card stock rectangles one on top of the other – use a small amount of snail to adhere the pieces together temporarily (1” or less). Prior to sticking the pieces together, touch the adhesive to clothing to reduce the stickiness.
3. First, stamp the leaves in Old Olive ink and then stamp the smallest daisy image in the set randomly across the card layers. Color in the daisy centers using the Dark Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends marker. It is expected that the stamped images will be missing at the edges of each overlapping layer. Carefully twist the 3 pieces apart.

Adhere the remaining 2 pieces of Whisper White to their respective Daffodil Delight frames. Adhere each layer to the card base, lining up the stamped images. The Daffodil Delight frames should cover the areas where the images were missing.
5. Adhere the punched daisy to the card front using a dimensional.
