Daisy Lane - Friend

Today's dainty and beautiful card is much more simple than it looks - I love cards that are full of detail, yet still east to put together!

Here's how to make it:

1. Start with a base of Crumb Cake cut to 8.5" x 5.5", scored on the long side at 4.25" and burnished with your bone folder along the fold
2. Cut a mat of Early Espresso to 5.25" x 4" and adhere to your card base
3. Cut a piece of Petal Pink to 5 1/8" x 3 7/8" - emboss using the Pinewood Planks 3D Embossing Folder, adhere to the Early Espresso mat
4. Cut a strip of Crumb Cake to 1" x 3 7/8" - stamp the word "Friend" from Daisy Delight in Crumb Cake, aligning as far to the left of the strip as you can - so as to leave enough room for the completed flower
5. Cut a 4" piece of Very Vanilla Scalloped Lace Trim, use Tear & Tape to adhere this to the back of the Crumb Cake Strip
6. Adhere the Crumb Cake Strip and Lace trip to the embossed Petal Pink panel
7. Using a scrap of Petal Pink, stamp 2 of the leaf clusters from Daisy Delight in Granny Apple Green and punch them using the Leaf Punch, set aside
8. On another scrap of Petal Pink, stamp two if the large daisies in Crumb Cake and punch them using the Large Daisy Punch
9. Place each petal individually between your thumb and bone folder and roll toward you as you pull gently but firmly along the petal - this creates a 3-D effect and makes the Daisy look more realistic
10. Using a scrap of Petal Pink vellum from the Perennial Essence 12" x 12" Vellum Cardstock pack, stamp the medium daisy/  Heatset this and then punch using the Medium Daisy Punch
11. On a scrap of Early Espressp, stamp the center of the daisy using Versamark Ink. 
12. Apply Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder to the Versamark and heatset.  Fussy cut the flower center
13. Using Stampin Dimensional, adhere the two large daisies to one another, offsetting the petals
14. Use a Mini Stampin Dimensional to adhere the medium daisy to the two large daisies 
15. Use a Mini Glue Dot to adhere the gold flower center to the medium Daisy 
16. Tie a small bow using the Linen Thread and adhere to the center of the Daisy using a Mini Glue Dot
17. Place your flower there you want it on the card.  Add a small amount of Multipurpose Liquid Glue to the bottom of one leaf cluster and carefully slide it under the flower in a position that looks good to you. Repeat for the second leaf cluster.
18. Use the Multipurpose Liquid Glue to adhere the Daisy to the card
19. Add three Pearl Basic Jewels randomly around the Daisy
