Upsy Daisy

I love the simplicity of this stampset and the fact that you can use it for numerous techniques such as daubering, crayon direct to rubber, markering, popping pastels……..I’m sure there is more……let me know if I’ve left anything out!
The card above was inspired by Michelle Zindorf…… AKA “She of the Magic Brayer” and also a card I saw made by my friend Jayne Mercer.
I have only just discovered that my Brayer is useful for all sorts of things – this is, other than just making multi-coloured backgrounds! This technique uses a mask for the moon you see in the background (created with my 1 and 3/8 inch circle punch). I inked up my Brayer in Perfect Plum and starting at the bottom of the cardstock I rolled back and forwards across the entire width gradually making my way up to the top. To get a darker effect, just repeat the process. The result is a beautiful graduation of colour running up to the top edge of the cardstock. Peel away the mask and the result is quite stunning……not bad for such a simple technique hey?? The Zindorf style is all about layering and creating a scene on your card, so I have stamped the Daisy’s in Elegant Eggplant over the top to create the illusion of flowers swaying in the breeze in the forground.
I chose to stamp my greeting in the circle moon and , as I had run out of Elegant Eggplant ribbon I made my own, using a very thin strip of cardstock of the same colour cut with my Paper Trimmer. To make your own “ribbon” out of cardstock just run your strip gently backwards and forwards on the sharp edge of a table 2 or 3 times  and then go the other way to stretch it, tie a bow and then stick this onto the strip running across the card with a glue dot. You will never be without coordinating ribbon again using this little trick 😉
Here is the same stamp-set using the crayon direct to rubber technique…….which gives an awesome water-coloured effect without even having to pick up a brush………

  1. Hi Vanessa,
    Really love the Upsy Daisy cards. So glad that I can now take this stamp set off my wish list.
    Both these cards look just stunning, and yet you have made them sound so easy to create.
    Looking forward to the class. Can’t wait to try to create these cards myself.
    Thank you. Helen.xx

  2. Hi Ness,
