STAMPIN' UP! SKETCHED BUTTERFLIES WEDDING CARD FEATURING DAFFODIL DELIGHT

 

In this week's Colour Creations blog hop, our feature colour is Daffodil Delight.  Yellow is not a colour I gravitate towards in my crafting, so it has been a bit of a challenge for me to have Crushed Curry and Daffodil Delight to work with these past couple of weeks!

I have created a wedding card in white, with touches of Daffodil Delight and gold.  I have used Thick Basic White card for all my white layers.  I like to use it when I'm colouring with Stampin' Blends Markers, and when using a 3D embossing folder (and intricate dies).

I stamped the large butterfly, and two smaller ones, on Thick Basic White card using Versamark ink.  After sprinkling white embossing powder over the stamped images, I melted the powder with my heat tool.  I used Daffodil Delight Stampin' Blends Markers to colour the butterflies, then cut them out with co-ordinating dies.

In my close-up photos, you can see some of the detail in the two Thick Basic White layers that are matted on Gold Foil.  The top layer was die-cut using a Delicate Forest Die, that creates a leafy arched aperture.  On the next Thick Basic White layer, you can see some of the Distressed Tile embossing.

 

On the bottom of the two layers, I gold heat-embossed the sentiment, from Something Fancy.  I then partially embossed this panel, using the Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder.  

Daffodil Delight Glossy Dots were added to REALLY bring out the yellow on my card!

I added some white baker's twine to the bottom of my card front, wrapping two lengths around the layers before adhering them to the Thick Basic White card base.  With another two lengths of twine, I made a bow, and added it with Mini Glue Dots.

Inside the card, I added a white-embossed sentiment on Daffodil Delight card.  I cropped the sentiment with the long label from the Delicate Forest Dies, running it through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine twice, to cut it down to the size I needed.

I love taking part in the weekly Colour Creations blog hops, and am sad to say I'll be missing the next two or three.  Happily, though, I am going travelling.  Yay for new adventures!  I look forward to re-joining the blog hops when I'm back in a few weeks.
