Cut a 3.5″ circle our of a piece of Whisper White card stock using a circle die and my big shot machine.
Punched a 1 3/4″ circle from the stick part of a post it note and used it as a mask for the sun. Brayered Tempting Turquoise ink on the card stock.
Brayered Pacific Point ink at the top of the card stock, not covering the Tempting Turquoise ink entirely.
Removed the sun mask and sponged Daffodil Delight ink on the sun.
Loaded the petal from the Stampin’ Up set “Build a Blossom” with Daffodil Delight ink and then rolled the edges of the stamp on a Cajun Craze ink before stamping. This technique is called Shadow stamping. 🙂 I stamped the petals on Whisper White card stock.
Punched the petals out using the matching punch.
Adhered the petals to the die cut circle.
Punched a 1 1/4″ circle from Early Espresso card stock and then sponged Basic Black ink on the circle edges.
Adhered the Early Espresso circle to the center of the petals and cut the part of the circle off that hangs over the die cut edge.
Added 2 Cajun Craze panels, 1 Tempting Turquoise panel and 1 Early Espresso panel.
Added Pierced rows at the top and left side of the card stock using the Stampin’ Up Mat pack and piercing tool.
Pierced holes in the flower center using the piercing tools.
Added 4 gold brads.
Here is the finished card measuring 5.25″ square.
May your day be filled with laughter and love.
Until my next post. . . . . . . .
Hugs,
Michelle
