Birthday Daisy

Good morning and happy Monday!  Or at least I hope it's a happy Monday for you - the dreaded Monday, haha!  I needed to make a quick birthday card, so I grabbed the July Key Ingredients Kit from Taylored Expressions - these KI Kits make creating cards and projects a snap!  Everything is hand picked to mix and match and all you need to do is pick a stamp set and ink, and there you go.  Card!  I haven't inked up Oops a Daisy yet, so I quickly grabbed it and used MOJO251 for the layout. 



I stamped the flower in Memento Desert Sand Ink and then colored it with some Copic Markers.  I left the petals uncolored, but used BG90 to lightly color around the outside of the petals, to make them stand out against the buttercream cardstock.  Then I stamped the sentiment over the flower image in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.  After assembling the base of the card with different patterned papers from the July KI Kit, I wrapped some of the ribbon from the kit around the base and tied a simple bow.

Thank you so much for stopping by today!  Here are the items I used on today's card, which are available in the TE Store:
