This is my third and final project for today, but first to post. Wednesday is all about blog hops and challenges. This is my project for this week’s Global Design Project.

It is a colour challenge. This colour combination is fabulous, although a little challenging for the products I am featuring this week.

I started by using a technique Patty Bennett shared earlier this week. Using a piece of the Bumblebee Simply Marbleous 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper, I added Mango Melody across it using a Stampin’ Blend.

This way I was able to have the marble effect from the DSP and the challenge colour ready to use for my project. I used this piece of coloured DSP to die cut the daffodils I used.

The Basic White card base has a slightly smaller panel of Magenta Madness cardstock. This panel then framed the stamped Misty Moonlight paper from the New Horizons 6″x 6″ Designer series Paper. I used the Misty Moonlight ink to stamp the daffodil image across the paper.

The Timetorn Type 3D Embossing Folder was used to emboss a piece of Basic White cardstock. I wrapped some white twine, from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack, around the embossed layer several times and tied a bow. Stampin’ Dimensionals were placed under the panel to pop it yp on the card front.

I used the Dark Magenta Madness Stampin’ Blend to colour a Square Vellum Doily. The left hand corner was trimmed away and it was secured under the twine with Stampin’ Seal.

The greeting is from the Daffodil Daydream Stamp Set.

After adding the daffodils to the card, I painted their centres with Clear Wink of Stella.

The daffodil was stamped inside the card and on the front of the envelope. The final step was to add some Elegant Faceted Gems to the front of the card.

A more detailed list of the products I used to make this card is at the bottom of this post.

Tomorrow is 3D Thursday and I’m off to plan my project.

Until then, happy stamping.

I have two techniques to share with you today. Using the Daffodil Daydream Bundle and Daffodil Afternoon 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper, I decided to use the Whitewash technique and Mirror Image stamping technique.

Let me take you through some photos showing the mirror image stamping technique. I used my Whisper White Craft Stampin’ Pad before heat embossing White Stampin’ Emboss™ Powder.

I used the Silicon Craft Sheet so that I could make sure that I had a well inked image.

Then I carefully placed a piece of Crumb Cake cardstock over the stamped silicon sheet and pressed the stamp down firmly to transfer the ink onto the cardstock.

This makes sure that there is an image on the side of the cardstock needed to use the die to cut the mirror image.

Voila – a mirror image of the daffodil.

Here is the end result.

I stamped the daffodils on a larger piece of cardstock and used one of the Scalloped Contours Dies to cut the Crumb Cake panel. The mirror daffodil was die cut. Then I used the fine tip Water Painter to paint some Whisper White Craft ink in the images. I used my Heat Tool to dry the ink.

After cleaning the Water Painter, it was used to colour the flowers using Daffodil Delight and Pear Pizzazz.

I wrapped some Linen Thread several times around the scalloped panel and tied a bow.

The birthday greeting, from the Celebrating You Stamp Set, was stamped and heat embossed in the same way the flowers were. I cut this piece of card down so that I could cut two scallops at each end of greeting panel.

I used two designs from the Daffodil Afternoon DSP to layer up on the front of the Daffodil Delight card base.

After I popped up the scalloped layer on the card front, using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I added the birthday greeting and mirror daffodil.

I stamped the single daffodil image on the card insert and envelope in Daffodil Delight. The last step was to add some Elegant Faceted Gems.

It is always great to find different ways to combine new and existing products. The Scalloped Contours Dies were perfect for this project and I hadn’t used them in a while.

Tomorrow I will have three different projects to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.

I know exactly the photos I plan to use on this page. They were taken in 1994, when we were living in Bargara. My sister and her husband were visiting us. Our daughter was only 3. One afternoon, she and my brother-in-law were relaxing in the backyard overlooking the rocky foreshore.

They were just lazing about, soaking in the sun, laying under the pandanus palms. I hope you can imagine the scene.

It was a great example of LAZY DAISY DAYS.

I was inspired by a Facebook Live by Patty Bennett a couple of days ago. She showed how to make tulips using the Tulip Dies. She used Designer Series Paper rather than cardstock. Just like her, I used the Simply Marbleous 6″x 6″ DSP and the New Horizons 6″x 6″ DSP.

The flowers were cut from two sheets of the Bumblebee Simply Marbelous DSP. I used one of my Blending Brushes to add Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry ink.

The stems and leaves were cut from one of the New Horizons sheets.

After I assembled the flowers, I positioned and attached the flowers on this black and white Daffodil Afternoon 12″x 12″ Designer Series Paper.

Then I cut two Crushed Curry layers for the photos to be attached to.

I added Adhesive Sheet to the back of a piece of Crushed Curry cardstock and cut the letters for the title. The Playful Alphabet Dies are perfect for scrapbook pages.

My final step was to create two journalling tags, using the Tailor Made Tags Dies. I took some lengths of white twine from the Baker’s Twine Essentials Pack to create the bows.

Adding additional colour to DSP using ink and Blending Brushes is such a great technique.

Tomorrow is Technique Tuesday but I will have a different technique to share with you. So until then, happy stamping.
