As you know..... I love to create Fun Fold cards and this card was just "itching to be made" with the new "Delightful Daisy" Designers Series Paper.
I used 3-step stamping to create the flower and 2-step stamping for the leaves using the Stamp Set "Bunch of Blossoms". I thought the flower resembled the flower in the Delightful Daisy DSP.
Stampin' Up! always lists the colors on the back cover page of their DSP which helps you know the color scheme. A great tool in designing your projects. Well, my creative side came out (sometimes that can be scary, LOL) and I went against it all. I added my own color scheme of what I thought it looked like. It lists Night of Navy and Calypso Coral which you can definitely see in the DSP, but I added Wisteria Wonder and Pumpkin Pie.
I love the color combination.
What do you think?
How I created the flower.
(3-step stamping)
I stamped the outline flower with Night of Navy, the solid image of the flower I used Wisteria Wonder stamping off and then stamping on the cardstock. To make the darker color (shading), I stamped with Wisteria Wonder directly on the cardstock with the 3rd stamp creating more depth.
Leaves
(2-step stamping)
The leaves are created using Old Olive for the outline stamp and Pear Pizzazz for the inside of the leaves.
I layered the white cardstock on Night of Navy and then added it to the base card which is Wisteria Wonder. The saying is stamped with Wisteria Wonder and layered with Pumpkin Pie.
