Oopsy Daisy Happy Birthday Card using Distress Ink with Alcohol Based Markers

Used Oopsy Daisy stamp set I bought from Mark's Finest Papers for Daisy with LadyBug image & Happy Birthday sentiment. Used a new to me technique of Speedy & Friends involving using a crumpled piece of paper with Distress Ink for background and alcohol based markers for coloring stamped image. For Distress ink I used Tim Holtz broken china which gave the background a distressed Aqua color look. For markers I used Prisma Color Premier Primary & Secondary Colors set that my daughter gave me that she was no longer using.

Used Walk in My Garden Cricut cartridge for the Daisy Border. Welded 2 groups of 3 Daises each. For outside of card I trimmed to have 4 Daises. Embossed the Daisies with Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder.


Base cardstock has an aqua color to compliment the distressed aqua color look of the background on the white cardstock.


Added some ribbon, buttons & glitter.

Also, completed the inside of card using 1 Daisy from Daisy Border and a Martha Stewart LadyBug Edge Punch.
