Color Hues Challenge #47 - Gina K. Designs Daisies Forever

 Hello Crafters! I'm finally back to crafting and decided to jump right in and join a challenge at Color Hues! The challenge colors are Chocolate & Mint so I created this card.

I started by hot foiling a piece of Hammermill cardstock with some Spellbinders hot foil and Simon Says Stamp Intricate Floral Background Hot Foil Plate on my Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil machine. I'm pretty new to hot foiling and even though there's a small learning curve, I love foiling everything now with my Glimmer machine. After cutting my foiled cardstock with a Waffle Flower A2 die, I ink blended the edges with Gina K Designs Applemint ink. I then layered it on a piece of GKD cardstock in Dark Chocolate and placed all of these on a top folding card base made with GKD Heavyweight white cardstock.

I used my new Gina K Designs Daisies Forever Layering Stencil Bundle to create the daisies in mint shades using GKD Applemint, Pinkfresh Studio Fresh Pear & Catherine Pooler In the Park inks for the petals and GKD Warm Cocoa, Dark Chocolate & Charcoal Brown inks for the flower centers. After die cutting the flowers out I added a little detail with a Gelly Roll white gel pen and a little Wink of Stella. 

I layered the flowers onto the front of my card with foam adhesive and placed leaves that I die cut using two different dies from Gina K Designs - Foliage Fillers and Botanical Duo - cut from Applemint cardstock. The sentiment is hot foiled with Spellbinders Sentiments Hot Foil Plate Set & Espresso Beam foil and I die cut it with Lawn Fawn's Everyday Sentiment Banners die. I finished my card off with some Queen & Company jewels. 

It's hard to see the glimmer of the foil in the photos but hot foiling adds beautiful and amazing detail!

 I am so hooked! 😁
