Special Moments shimmery Daffodil Afternoon

 Greetings!

If you are looking for a stamp set full of greetings and messages for many occasions, the Special Moments stamp set is for you!   This set is loaded with heartfelt messages in beautiful fonts.

Today's card uses a Special Moments sentiment as the finishing touch for these beautiful daffodil blooms!  The Daffodil dies set is amazing!  The detail to the dies creates flowers so lovely you almost expect them to smell great too!  The stems and leaves are sized to work well on slimline cards also.



Aren't they beautiful! The blooms have an added touch of color and shimmer thanks to a bit of Wink of Stella and Calypso Coral ink.  

Let's not leave out the beautiful crosshatch style background paper.  This is one of the prints from the Daffodil Afternoon Designer Series Papers that you can earn FREE right now with a $50 order.  They coordinate with the Daffodil Daydreams bundle which includes the dies used for this card along with a lovely stamp set. What makes these papers a bit unique is that the neutral is Very Vanilla instead of white, so a bit softer contrast with the black.

Here's How It's Made:
Apply adhesive sheets to Pear Pizzazz, Shimmery White and Pale Papaya cardstock pieces.  
TIP: Keep cardstock on hand in 6 x 8-1/2 or 6 x 11 sheets with adhesive sheet applied.  This gives you a good sized piece to work with that fits through your die cut machine.  Die cut your shapes close together, so you can get as much as possible out of the piece.  Cut what you need for the current project, and store the rest.  Next time you have a detailed project, you already have adhesive applied and ready for your die cut.  This also makes it a more efficient use of the adhesive sheets.
Adhere Basic Black panel to Thick Very Vanilla card base. Adhere Pale Papaya strip along right edge, leaving a 1/8" strip of black showing.
Die cut pieces as follows:
  • Flower petals; Very Vanilla  
  • Detailed petal dies; Shimmery White 
  • Full bloom (center); Very Vanilla
  • Detailed bloom detail; Pale Papaya   
  • Stems and leaves; Pear Pizzazz
Use Wink of Stella clear glitter brush to grab ink from Calypso Coral ink pad.  Lightly brush around edges of detailed blooms.  Assemble detailed dies to flower petals and blooms.  Adhere assemble layers together to create finished flowers using mini glue dots or multipurpose liquid glue.  
Adhere stems and leaves to crosshatch print Designer Series Paper panel; edges will extend beyond bottom.  When all are adhered, trim off excess at lower edge.  Adhere panel to card front.  Adhere finished flowers.
Ink sentiment with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink, stamp onto a 7/8 x 2-3/4 piece of Very Vanilla cardstock.  Adhere to card using Stampin' Dimensionals.
