Today’s card features two of the Sale-a-bration products: Special Moments and Daffodil Afternoon.

I began with a Very Vanilla card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, topped with Polished Pink Cardstock, 3 3/4″ X 5″. This was layered with a beautiful pattern of Daffodil Afternoon Designer Paper, 1/8″ smaller, giving the pattern a 1/16″ pink border.

Next, I used my Paper Snips, and cut three daffodils from the Daffodil Afternoon DSP that matched three of the flowers on my card front. Before gluing the layers together, I attached the daffodils with Dimensionals, and trimmed the edges. They are visible in my last photo.

Daffodil Afternoon

For the sentiment, I stamped, “for someone who is wonderful in each and every way,” in Memento Black Ink on Very Vanilla Cardstock, and used an Ornate Frames Die for cutting. The frame was cut with an Ornate Frames Die from Polished Pink Cardstock. They were glued together, and attached to the card front with Dimensionals.

Now, you can see the dimension of the three daffodils I fussy cut; two on the lower right, and one at the top. They are much easier to see in person.

I was inspired by TGIF.

My February Host Code Gift

Just type the current host code (found beneath my profile picture) in the box provided, on your order of $75.00 or more, and I will send you the Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks in March.

Create textured and colored backgrounds with Butterflies & Flowers Layering Decorative Masks. These stencils are an easy way to blend colors on your cards and other paper crafting projects. You can use the background masks on their own. But your images will really pop when you layer the detailed masks over the backgrounds to get even more depth and dimension. Use with Classic Stampin’ Ink and coloring tools such as Blending Brushes and Sponge Daubers for beautiful color. You can also use them with Embossing Paste and Palette Knives for textured designs.
