Spellbinders | Yana's Daisies

Hello there, today I have two cards to share using the fabulous new collection from Spellbinders and Yana Smakula called Yana's Daisies. I know that daisies do come in a few different colourways, I am not sure if aqua is one of them, but I thought it looked pretty so went with it!

I am using the Daisy Trio Press Plate, which can be pressed or hot foiled. You can also purchase it along with a stencil which colours in the image with ink blending and also adds a shadow to the background. I just used the plate today, but wanted you to know there are other options! I am also using the super pretty Yana's Daisies Etched Die and Crafty Hugs Sentiments Press Plates. 

For my first card, I pressed the Spellbinders Daisy Trio Press Plate onto Spellbinders BetterPress Porcelain A7 Cotton Card using Spellbinders BetterPress Black Ink and the Spellbinders BetterPress Letterpress System. It was then coloured using Copic Markers (the colours that I used are listed below the supplies area). 

Copic Markers are not recommended when using this ink as it can bleed, but I wanted the vibrancy of them for my card. The yellows did bleed a bit for the flower centres but the rest weren't too bad! I die cut the panel using the second largest die in the Spellbinders Essential Arches Etched Dies set. I created a white card base using the same arch dies (using the hinge method) and then adhered the pressed panel on top with thin foam tape. 

I pressed the 'happy birthday' sentiment from the Spellbinders Crafty Hugs Sentiments Press Plate & Die Set using Spellbinders BetterPress Black Ink and die cut it out using the coordinating die. It was adhered to the card with more thin foam tape. To finish, I embellished with Spellbinders Onyx Color Essentials Gems. 

PEASE NOTE: The photos are showing the pressed ink to be a bit splotchy, it actually isn't in real-life at all! It is quite difficult to get a perfect press with these solid plates sometimes but this one actually came out really nicely. Shame the photos don't show that!  

For my second card, I started off by die cutting the Spellbinders Yana's Daisies Etched Dies (main die) from white cardstock, I added tape to the back to keep all the pieces in place and coloured the flowers using Copic Markers (the colours that I used are listed below the supplies area). I then die cut the die again from white cardstock, but this time popped all the pieces out and adhered it over the top. 

I decided that I didn't like the outline being white, so I die cut it again, but this time from Hero Arts Pitch Black Cardstock. It was adhered over the top of the white one. I then created an arch shaped card base like I did for the first card in black cardstock. I splattered on Spellbinders Splatter White Opaque Watercolor and let it sit to dry. 

Once dry, the daisies were adhered on top using thin foam tape. I pressed the 'just a note' sentiment from the Spellbinders Crafty Hugs Sentiments Press Plate & Die Set using Spellbinders BetterPress Black Ink and die cut it out using the coordinating die. I also cut another of the die and adhered it behind the pressed one for added dimension. It was adhered onto the card with liquid glue.
