SSS has another new release & this one has a lot of things that appeal to me. However, I hadn't used the darling Peeking Daisy die that was in my last order. Decided to remedy that & here's my card.
I intended to use the panel with 3 positive daisy die cuts, but messed it up. So I changed plans & covered each of the negative circles with a shimmer pen & Nuvo Glaze. Then I cut 3 squares of beautiful DCWV glitter paper for mats.
I arranged the squares on a gray panel & stamped the sentiment from SSS Hello Friends. To finish off, I added a black gem to the center of each flower. Now for the rest of my unused stash to make an appearance on a card--haha! I'm entering

I hadn't made a rainbow card or used my Distress Oxides in quite awhile, so that's how my next card started. The colors I used are candied apple, spiced marmalade, fossilized amber, lucky clover, faded jeans & wilted violet.
I die cut Pinkfresh Hello with a Bouquet, inlaid the outline into the panel & attached it to a black mat. I die cut the letters again from black fun foam so they would have dimension.
The little word was made with TH stickers & I added shimmer Pico Embellisher dots. I'm entering
