Cards by Design # 4 | Daisy Whispers Collection

Published on by Vicky WrightLeave a comment

G’day Crafty Friends,

There’s something so comforting about creating a handmade card, especially when it’s meant to lift someone’s spirits.  Today’s project is a soft and cheerful “Feel Better Soon” card featuring the beautiful Daisy Whispers Paper Collection.  With delicate florals, gentle colours and a clean sketch layout, this card came together easy while still feeling thoughtful and special.

Starting with the Sketch

For this design, I followed the Cards by Design #4 & focused on the lovely pattern paper and a central focal point.  Sketches are such a great starting point when you want to create but don’t want to overthink the design.

Building the Card

Once the layers were adhered, I arranged & adhered the fussy-cut butterflies from the cover of the Pattern Paper Collection thereby creating a focal area.  A simple sentiment – “Feel Better Soon” – keeps the message clear and heartfelt.  I added a couple of Embellishment which helps draw the eye to the centre.

Nothing too flashy, just enough to complement the softness of the design.
