'Fresh' as a...

... daisy!  That's how my mind worked when I heard April's smART word.  I then proceeded to make a couple of daisy-fresh cards: 

This first card was actually the second one made using leftover pieces from my first creation, but it's the one I like better -- Two reasons:  #1) It really says 'fresh' to me, and #2) It's a great ministry card. 

The second card went exactly as planned, but when finished seemed 'lacking'.  I waited overnight, looked at it again, and still wasn't happy. 

That's when, once again, I could hear my best stamping bud, Liz, say, "You know, Susan, you can fix almost any card if you add enough glitter."  Why not?!?  I hauled out the glitter glue, and went to town.  Halfway through I thought I was only making a big mess, but once finished and completely dry, those daisies were beauteous!

Other Details -- Size: 3.5" x 5" -- Stamps: Daisies from Slow Go, Bible verse from Ministry Mix, quote from Tumbling Daisies -- Flowers were stamped in pigment ink and clear embossed. Then cut out, 'curled' and layered -- Leaf punch and corner rounder by Carl -- Print paper by DCWV -- Paper lace was a gift -- Flower centers glittered, then glazed -- Glitter glue on the second card was applied with a small paintbrush. 

Hope you've been inspired give this month's 'fresh' challenge a try,
