I love SU's Upsy Daisy set, but due to its popularity I was trying to think of a unique way to use it. The "kissing" technique came to mind. (Isn't that a darling name?! Makes me giggle every time!)
Stamps: Upsy Daisy & Paisley BG (SU)
Paper: Whisper White, Tangerine Tango, Pacific Point
Ink: Versamark, Tangerine Tango, Pacific Point
Accessories: Tangerine Tango Ribbon, Silver Brads, Clear EP
To make this card, I inked up my background stamp with Tangerine Tango, used that like a stamp pad and laid the Upsy Daisy stamp on it. This transferred the ink to Upsy Daisy, and then I stamped that on my Whisper White. (Since I wanted to use Clear EP, I actually inked Upsy Daisy with versamark first.)
Last but certainly not least, I never cease to be amazed that someone would want to give me an award. :) I am the one who is truly awarded every time I visit all of my blogging buddies! Thank you Holly and Amy! You made my day brighter!

Enjoy those kiddos...we'll be here when you get time :)
I love your card. The colors are refreshing.
This is the perfect image for the kissing technique! I love your rich colors!!! Love it!
Very pretty!
No, no smooching here, this is a family site! :) You silly girl! I like the kissing technique too, fun stuff! And this is a nice card.
The kissing (giggle giggle) looks fab on this set and you have made a totally adorable card.
I will email you on Tuesday and let you know what the gender result is but you have to be shhhhh secret squirrel and not say anything on my blog as I want to keep it a secret from my family and friends here.
Oh, very cool technique! The card is gorgeous!
Awww, thank you for the award Siobhan!! You're so sweet, and congrats to you! I love coming to visit your blog for your great stories and gorgeous work :)
This card is no exception, so pretty, and, you're right, that is a great name for the technique!
What a beautiful card! Of course, I got it in the mail, so I know it's even prettier IRL!!! I am going to try the kissing technique with VersaMark tonight when I get some stamp time. I have been dying to try it since you sent me this beauty!
Ooh what a cute card! I have been meaning to get that set too.
Super cool! i love the way the overall card is CAS...makes the kissing really stand out! :)
Very nice color combo, so nice! It's hard to stay inside and stamp when you have little ones that need your attention.
I've always liked that stamp - you did a great job with it - fantastic card!
Pretty card - love the colors!
Cute card! I love the colors you used and that beautiful ribbon!
cute card with the colors
Thanks for the award. I appreciate it. I haven't been a very good blogger lately though, but I'm trying to get back on track. My friends daughter and her two kids have moved in with us so I am adjusting to having even more people in my house. Thanks so much for the beautiful birthday card. It is super pretty. I have it on my desk at work so I can enjoy it all day.
I love your upsy daisy card. I just pulled this set out and made a bunch of cards the other night. I'll be posting them soon.
Congrats on the award again.
Wonderful card. I love the colors and the Kissing technique looks great with this.

You're right, it is a popular stamp set. But, good for you, you have used it in an original way! I don't think I've seen it 'kissed' before and certainly not paired with paisley...bravo! Now, I am a little behind online....I was behind in blogging, behind in checking everyone's blogs out, etc. So, now that I'm back, I'm visiting the fun blogs I like and what do I find??? An award, for me?? THANKS!!! :>:> You just made my day! :>
