I just can't resist this Upsy Daisy set - its such a cute set so I had to make a few more cards with it. Each time I use YoYo Yellow, I feel I need to put sunglasses on as it is so bright. But I like the combination with Kiwi Kiss so I came up with this card. In the picture the yellow looks more subdued than and it may be the time of day I took the picture as it was later in the afternoon when I got to snap the photo. I inked up the stamp with YoYo Yellow and then used daubers to apply the Kiwi Kiss at the tips of the flowers. It is somewhat like the Rock and Roll technique except that the flowers are all bunched together so it's difficult to rock and roll with them and using the daubers makes it easy to touch the tips of the flowers. In the sentiment, I took the rhinestone out of the Rhinestone Brad and put on the "o" with a Mini Glue Dot. Simply spread the prongs on the brad apart and flip up the two tabs that hold the rhinestone in and it will fall out. I used the new double sided Satin Kiwi Kiss/Very Vanilla ribbon around the middle. for an accent The ribbon is top quality and very easy to work with. Punched the Whisper White layer and YoYo Yellow layer with the Ticket Corner punch.

As you can see from my blog colours, pink is one of my favourites! Pink Pirouette is a very soft pink that goes well with many of the other colours in the whole SU colour family. It's a very simple card, 4" x 4" with a mat of Georgia Peach DSP. Same technique as the card above. I added some paper piercing at the top and bottom of the white layer.
