Today's card was one of my Control Freak organized swap cards at Stampin' Up!'s Convention last week. I was inspired to make this one by yesterday's Create with Connie and Mary Challenge card. I decided to change up the colors from white daisies to yellow ones. The yellow ones in my garden are in full bloom right now! I LOVE the new Daffodil Delight yellow…it is just SO cheery and fresh to me!
The base of my card is Early Espresso. I added a layer of Daffodil Delight cardstock on top. Over that is a strip of Greenhouse Gala Designer Paper (I thought it looked sort of like a lattice in the background!) That was layered onto Pear Pizzazz cardstock. I used the new Dotted Ribbon punch with Early Espresso Cardstock and adhered it to the back of the Pear Pizzazz so only the one scallop edge showed. I used Daffodil Delight Textured cardstock for the Stampin' Up! Blossom Party Die daisies across the front with the centers of Early Espresso cardstock. Then I tied a 1/8 Taffeta Ribbon in Daffodil Delight into a bow under the flower that is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals. Finally, the greeting "Thanks Big Time" is from the new set, A Word For You and stamped with Early Espresso Classic Ink.
I love how this turned out. That Blossom Party die is so versatile…I can't believe I didn't notice it sooner!
Have a wonderful day!
Ooooooo….I LOVE this card!!! I so want to get that die!! I agree…I didn't see how versatile it was at first, but now I'm seeing ALL kinds of ideas go through my head!! I NEED that die!!! Lol!
OOOhh I love it!!! The colors are fabulous too. OHHHH the inspiration!!!
