Here is today's card-this one is going to a friend that is going through some very tough trials right now.
I used a a quick coloring technique- you use an ink foam applicator and color the entire image using a circular motion. Then you shade the edges with a darker color, or two. LOL The center of the daisy was stippled using a 1/2" circle punch negative. Very quick because only the spot you want to color is left open.
A closer look at the daisy. Oh how I wish you could see the shimmer!! I used Pearl Glimmer Mist on the flower once it was all cut out. Oh so pretty!! This is the first time I had used the Glimmer Mist- and after one use I am HOOKED!!
I hadn't used my dew drops for a couple of weeks, I needed to give them some lovin'. LOL
This is the inside- I wonder why it posted sideways? I think finishing the inside of the card makes it look more "polished"- don't you?

Lisa, what a pretty card! Your friend will be so delighted to receive it. I love how you finished the inside as well. I try, but don't very often finish the inside of my cards, but I love the ones I do finish! Anyway, great card!!!
It's so pretty Lisa! Love the colors and I think that is one of my very favorite TAC stamps ever!!
The inside looks great too!
Hugs, Kelly
That is so neat how you did the daisy on the black scalloped circle! I love it!
Love it! I have heard a lot about Glimmer Mist and know some others who use it and love it. I need to try it one day soon.
Beautiful card, your friend will love receiving it.
