I know exactly the photos I plan to use on this page. They were taken in 1994, when we were living in Bargara. My sister and her husband were visiting us. Our daughter was only 3. One afternoon, she and my brother-in-law were relaxing in the backyard overlooking the rocky foreshore.

They were just lazing about, soaking in the sun, laying under the pandanus palms. I hope you can imagine the scene.

It was a great example of LAZY DAISY DAYS.

I was inspired by a Facebook Live by Patty Bennett a couple of days ago. She showed how to make tulips using the Tulip Dies. She used Designer Series Paper rather than cardstock. Just like her, I used the Simply Marbleous 6″x 6″ DSP and the New Horizons 6″x 6″ DSP.

The flowers were cut from two sheets of the Bumblebee Simply Marbelous DSP. I used one of my Blending Brushes to add Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry ink.

The stems and leaves were cut from one of the New Horizons sheets.

After I assembled the flowers, I positioned and attached the flowers on this black and white Daffodil Afternoon 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper.

Then I cut two Crushed Curry layers for the photos to be attached to.

I added Adhesive Sheet to the back of a piece of Crushed Curry cardstock and cut the letters for the title. The Playful Alphabet Dies are perfect for scrapbook pages.

My final step was to create two journalling tags, using the Tailor Made Tags Dies. I took some lengths of white twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack to create the bows.

Adding additional colour to DSP using ink and Blending Brushes is such a great technique.

Tomorrow is Technique Tuesday but I will have a different technique to share with you. So until then, happy stamping.
