Patriotic Daisies.

I am entering this one in Flourishes Flourishes Star Spangled Banner Challenge.  I also used the keyword FLLCJUNE11 at Splitcoast. So if i link it back to my blog, is that entering twice?  So much to learn about blogging.   




I started out using pencil on the daisies, then switched to Twinkling H2O's.  I did some not so straight stitching and mounted on some deep blue card stock. I know as a rule (okay maybe never) flowers don't have red centers, but they were just too pretty to color over the red.


The sentiment is from Paper Trey Ink.

Beautiful card! I love how it looks when you color on dark cardstock. I don't even know what twinkling H20's are. I will have to look into that.
