I used some of my favorite Hero Arts stamps for my card; a large Gerbera Daisy from 2012, a dotted background stamp from 2012 and "All Occasion Messages" a sentiment stamp set from 2011. I stamped the daisy image several times and colored the images with Copic Markers then fussy cut the flowers. For the background I smooshed Distress Ink on a piece of acetate than applied it to a piece of watercolor card stock. When the background dried I stamped the dot background stamp with Hero Arts Butter Bar mid-tone shadow ink on it. I adhered the daisies using foam tape on the lighter orange one. The sentiment is embossed with my favorite white embossing powder from Hero Arts. For a finishing touch I used some clear Nuvo Drops, I love how the drops look like water droplets.
