Spellbinders Timeless Painted Daisies

Hello! Today, I am sharing a flower-themed card created with Spellbinders products in the Through the Meadow Collection by Susan Tierney-Cockburn. I paired the realistic painted daisies with a floral-themed, dry-embossed background. The result is a refined, vintage-inspired design that feels both classic and enduring.

Spellbinders Through the Meadow Collection

    • Cut a 5″ square panel of soft blue cardstock and dry-emboss with the Wildly Beautiful folder. Add to card base.
    • Cut the Painted Daisy petals and leaves from Susan’s Garden Specialty Cardstock and color. I followed the video on the product page for coloring and shaping instructions, using Pan Pastels to color. Painted daisies come in a variety of colors —I recommend finding a visual reference to explore the many beautiful possibilities! I cut the flower centers from dark gray cardstock to match Power Outage Prills. Once assembled, glue the flowers and leaves to the card front.
    • Stamp the Message Strips sentiment on off-white cardstock with dark gray ink and cut with the coordinating die. Add to card front with foam adhesive.

Paint Resist Technique

Hello! Today, I am sharing a CAS encouragement/friendship card that uses the paint resist technique.

Paint Resist Technique

I applied Picket Fence paint to an older Hero Arts stamp – Leaf and Floral Background – and stamped the image on white cardstock. Once the paint was dry, I applied Peacock Feathers and Faded Jeans inks. I then wiped away the painted areas with a slightly damp paper towel. This technique gives a subtler resist than heat-embossing the image.

I cut the panel with a die from a retired MFT Blueprints set. I stamped the sentiment, from the Simon Says Stamp You Got This set, with Mama Elephant Smoke ink.
