Preview Day 1- Flowers for Daisy
Posted by Gina K at 7/21/2008 9:27 PM and is filed under uncategorized 
I always get so excited when we are ready to release new stamp sets! But when we do a release like this one, I am completely over the top. I could hardly contain myself at the CHA!
Yesterday, I asked you to tell me who inspires you. I loved reading your answers especially the ones where people mentioned the inspiration of a special friend. Friends are family we choose.
Not all that long ago, Asela Hopkins called me to discuss something that was very important to her. One of her close friends, Daisy, was and still is fighting a courageous battle with cancer. She wanted to do something. She wanted to somehow make a difference for Daisy. But what could she do? We discussed many possibilities and Asela decided that she wanted to draw a stamp set in honor of her friend who she loves dearly.
Flowers for Daisy
"Flowers for Daisy" is the newest stamp set by Asela Hopkins. It's a gorgeous set of beautiful daisy images and sayings. Each of the sayings were carefully chosen by Asela. Several of them are Daisy's favorite bible verses. These saying will make great cards of encouragement, friendship and love.
$4.00 of every retail set sold will go to the American Cancer Society until the end of August through a donation of part of the proceeds from both Asela Hopkins and Gina K. Designs.
Cancer has touched the lives of so many. Everyone knows someone who has suffered with cancer in some way. It's so hard to see the lives of family and friends get turned upside down with this horrible disease but you can help make a difference by purchasing this beautiful stamp set.

Inspiration
Asela and I have asked a few of our friends to help inspire you with their creativity.

Color it
I thought you might like to see the creation of this bookmark.
I began with the single daisy stamp from "Flowers for Daisy" along with one of my new favorite inks, Momento. This is the BEST ink for Copic Marker coloring. Marianne from Copic recommended it and I bought some. I absolutely loved it so I bought about 24 of their colors. You don't have to heat set it. I LOVE that!!! The color I used for this project is London Fog. I didn't want to go with black because I wanted it to stay softer.
I colored the petals with a pale yellow maker. I've added the color number to the photo to help you if you are trying to achieve the same look.
(Note: edited to add that all of the marker colors should begin with YR not VR. Please make a note of that if you print the tutorial or save it to use later.)
Keep in mind that I did not begin with white card stock. I used Stampin' Up card stock that is a natural color with a fleck in it. You won't get the true color of the marker like you would on white, but that's okay. I really wanted a softer look.
Then, using an orange, I added some depth to the petal. I haven't blended it yet. I just added a few lines coming from the flower center down each petal.
I added a peach color to the centers of the flowers.
If you look closely at the right side, you will see the unblended flowers. On the left side, you will see the top flower after I blended it. The way I blended the top left flower was by going back to the first pale yellow and going over the entire petal until every petal looked shaded. That smooths out the orange lines and makes them softer.
I did the same thing here with the centers. I went back over the entire thing with the peach color. It gives you lots of nice depth.
Now I couldn't spend the weekend with Tim Holtz and not distress everything I see, right? LOL! (I can't tell you how much I enjoyed his demonstrations all weekend. He is so talented.) I sponged on some Old Paper distress ink to the edges and the surface.
I stamped my greeting on some vellum paper that was cut to fit over the daisy images. I used Stazon ink in black.
I added some Basic Grey Fibers, then I tied through a punched hole. You can leave the book mark this way, or you can tear the edge and sponge along it. In my final shot, you can see I tore the edge and added an old key I found in a draw with more fibers. I love the look of the old keys. We have quite a few Tim Holtz keys coming soon.
This old key is cool because it belongs to a Master Lock and it says "MASTER" printed on it. The greeting reads, "My salvation and my honor depend on God: He is my mighty rock, my refuge." Psalms 62:7
I always think of God as my "Master" so the key has significant meaning to me.
I am really exited for you to see the entire set at the release party!

I think I'm going to cry. How precious of Asela to do this for Daisy! And how wonderful of you to do this for the ACS! Until about a year ago our closest family had been spared the pain of cancer. Then my father-in-law was diagnosed last summer and died in February. No one is immune. What a blessing this will be to those hurting from this horrid disease called cancer.
On a light note, I also might cry because no one has their samples up yet! LOL!

Gorgeous set---I'd love to win. ACS is a great charity.
Reply to this
I love this set. It would be great to use to make bookmarks for my women's bible study group. The verse makes it SO appropriate and wonderful.
Reply to this
Beautiful. And such a worthy cause. I wish they had had something like that going when my niece was fighting cancer. Unfortunately we lost her, but so many more are surviving now because of the causes that help research.
And of course we must get all the credit to our Lord God, our Master. He makes it all possible.
Thanks so much for sharing this.
Reply to this
What a wonderful thing for Asela to do. I'm just one year out from breast cancer and know that you have to fight the good fight with a positive attitude. The daisy is just perfect and I know will mean a lot to her friend, Daisy! Also, thank you for the very nice coloring tutorial!

Thank you for the donations to the Cancer Society. My son was only 10 years old when he lost his short 3 month battle with cancer. Their are no words to describe the feelings that took place when my Heavenly Father called my son home that September morning in 2004. I miss him terribly!

Gina -
As a colon cancer survivor, this set has deep meaning to me. When I read the story about Asela creating it for her friend, it brought tears to my eyes. I'm so glad you are donating proceeds to ACS and this set will definitely be in my collection, one way or another!

I love seeing the new releases - and this one has really caught my attention. I love daisies and knowing a portion goes to ACS is even better.

Wow, I LOVE this set. The meaning behind it makes it even more beautiful. Cancer takes so many forms...both my parents suffer from a form of cancer and I lost my Grandmother a few years back to it. Cancer is such an unforgiving disease and I pray for each and everyone who's life has been touched by it in some way. Thank you Aslea for leaving your mark, thank you Gina for efforts and thank you to everyone who purchases this set! Katie

Another great cause to help support. I had two cousins die this year from cancer and a friend's 17 year old grandson was just recently diagnosed with leukemia. I will be saving my pennies so I can purchase this set.

Gina: What a fabulous tribute to her friend-Asela's daisy stamp is beautiful and can only image the remainder of the set to be equally as lovely. My charity this year is to the Cancer Society and all my donations and volunteer work goes to this organization - so - Your support in this Preview Day offer is honored by all. Thanks for your generous stamp give away....already jumping for joy for the lucky winner! Kadie Labadie
