Simon Says Stamp | Yellow Daisies – Just Because Card

I continue my quest to replenish my stash of handmade cards with simple, all-occasion projects. This time I used a Daisy Bouquet stamp set for a yellow daisies “Just Because” card.

CARD DETAILS

After doing all of the usual things to make this card – stamping, contemplating color choices, finally settling on the marker colors and actually coloring I decided to crop a part of the panel off and accidentally cut a bit too much. But accidents can sometimes be happy accidents and so I decided to use both parts of the panel and leave a slight gap between them for a modern design trick.

In case you are wondering, I used the following Copic marker colors: YG03, YG17 (and added shading using a dark green pencil), Y38, Y15, Y11 and C1 (used to outline the cluster).

I first planned to use yellow cardstock for the background, but after trying the Sunshine panel I realized it was too vibrant and didn’t really go with the card. I switched gears and used a Fog panel instead. Sunshine cardstock was used for the “Just Because” sentiment as a tiny pop of yellow. Of course, I added some clear droplets to finish the look. I love the result and I’m so happy I’m making simple cards these days.
