The largest leafy sprig was inked up with Fresh Freesia ink, stamped off and stamped onto the panel. I repeated this step 3 or 4 times to provide a base.

Daydream Happiness Quilt card for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on August 13, 2022July 31, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share. Blog Hop where we are showcasing something we have been working on recently. I saw a a Youtube video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unb611k4Kec posted by fellow demo Julie Heitz and decided to have a try at making her quilt card. I have adapted it to suit A4 cardstock and used different dsp.

To recreate the daydream happiness quilt card, you will need:

Pool Party card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Early Espresso card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
