Dainty Delight flowers for the Crafty Challenge Blog Hop

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.

The large sprig of flowers was stamped in Basic Gray ink onto the smaller panel of Basic White card. The in-fill leaves were then stamped in Coastal Cabana ink.

I used Flirty Flamingo and Poppy Parade Blends Markers were used to colour the flowers. A Coastal Cabana Stamp ‘n Write Marker added colour to the base of the flowers and smaller leaves.

Using a Blending Brush, I added Coastal Cabana ink around the edges of the decorated panel and used the same ink to stamp the dotty image randomly around the flowers. The decorated panel was then glued to the Poppy Parade layer.

I wrapped a length of Sweet Sorbet Metallic Woven Ribbon around the panel, securing it on the back with Sellotape. Yes I know it is technically another colour but in my opinion the colour is much closer to Flirty Flamingo. The whole piece was then mounted onto the card base on Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Poppy Parade ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Hydrangea Dies and was added over the ribbon on Dimensionals. I flagged the ends of scrap strips of Basic White, Poppy Parade and Coastal Cabana card and tucked them under the top right corner of the stamped panel.

The trees were then stamped again in 2nd generation Soft Succulent ink, full strength was too dark. I added the stars in the same Soft Succulent ink, again in 2nd generation.
