Well week’s pass by so quickly these days and the summer is flying by! Today is another More Color Monday color challenge and this challenge is bright and cheery like the summer itself! Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight and Basic Black for bold contrast!
Measurements:
BASE: Daffodil Delight 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″
Daffodil Delight embossed layer 4″ x 5 1/4″
Basic Black layer : 2 pieces of 4″ x 5 1/4″ for die
cuts
Basic White layer: 4″ x 5 1/4″ for die cut
Die cut the Basic White layer with the 4th largest deckle rectangle die. Using the Daffodil Delight ink and a Blending Brush apply ink to one half of the die cut card stock.
Using Poppy Parade ink and another Blending Brush apply ink on the other half of the Basic White die cut overlapping the Daffodil Delight area to blend the colors.
Squeeze ample water into the brush of a Water painter and insert the brush tip into the cap and flick water droplets onto the cardstock. The water droplets will dry and lighten the ink color and create a distressed look that I love!
Die cut one of the Basic Black pieces of card stock with the second largest frame die from the scalloped contours die set. Adhere the colored white cardstock onto Basic Black frame die.
Stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment on the bottom of the colored cardstock from the Artistically inked stamp set in Tuxedo Black memento ink.
Emboss the Daffodil Delight layer with the Basics 3D embossing folder that looks like starfish and mount that onto the card base.
Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the black frame die cut and adhere to the embossed layer.
Die cut the flower image from the Artistic dies and adhere with Multi purpose glue to the card. The background is so colorful and dynamic that I choose the black gems from the Adhesive-backed sparkle gems for contrast. I hope this card inspires you to try this color combination if you do please visit today’s facebook post and share a picture of your artwork with us all!
Now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!
Off to mail this beautiful card to my younger sister for her birthday today! Happy Birthday Emmie!
Happy Stampin’
