Dainty Delight flowers for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

Posted on June 19, 2023June 13, 2023 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop where we are working with a sketch/colour challenge. I have chosen to make my card using the colours but as Pale Papaya and Pacific Point have retired, I have swapped these for Petal Pink and Azure Afternoon. I also changed Cajun Craze to Copper Clay. I have made my card using the Dainty Delight stamp set.

Colours used in this card are:

Azure Afternoon card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Copper Clay card – 5⅛” by 3⅜” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5” by 3¼” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Scrap Basic White & Petal Pink

Using Copper Clay ink, I stamped the largest floral image from the Dainty Delight stamp set onto the 5” by 3¼” panel of Basic White.
