A project from our live show THE ART OF CARDISTRY - Join me for my Creative Card Session with all my wonderful USA following - Broadcast 9th Oct 23 · 10/09/2023 · watch it from 39:00

Create a clean and elegant card featuring embossed white daisies with yellow centres on a pale pink background. This simple yet effective design uses embossing to create raised floral motifs, which are then enhanced with subtle shading using grey or blue ink to add depth and dimension. The result is a sophisticated card perfect for any occasion, showcasing how minimal colouring can create maximum impact.
Place your card into the embossing folder from the Daisy Meadow bundle. Run the card through your die-cutting machine to create the embossed daisy design.
