Annie’s Ink-Lings
Every spring when I see daffodils blooming all around the valley, I say to myself I'm going to be sure to plant some bulbs this fall. But, alas, when planting time comes I'm just too tired from all the garden work and it's too cold to be out there. So, I guess I'll just have to do with making daffodil cards and that's plenty of enjoyment for me. Definetly a lot less work! Take a look at today's creation. My inspiration came from a card I saw on Pinterest.
The background was made using a spatter stamp (listed below). For a finishing touch, I adhered 3 pretty pearls.
Here's what you'll need to make this card.

Additional Supplies

Directions
1. Attach DP panel onto card front, then center green panel onto the DP panel. Set aside.
2. Using the Mustard Seed ink pad, stamp the long sentiment onto a 4 ½” x 1” strip of white card stock. Trim the strip on both long sides close to the words. Notch both ends.
3. Stamp the white panel using the spatter stamp from the Color & Contour stamp set in third generation. I stamped about 5 or 6 times.
4. Emboss the panel with the Subtle embossing panel.
5. Stamp the multiple daffodil stamp three times onto white card stock using Memento Tuxedo Black.
5. Color the daffodils all over with Light Daffodil Delight. Color the stamens of each flower with Dark Daffodil Delight, and also the inside edge of the petals.
6. Color the leaves with Dark Shaded Spruce.
7. Fussy cut the images.
8.` Optional: I used my craft knife to remove some of the white space between the flowers, however it is not necessary as the flowers will be on a white background.
9. On the left and right side of the white panel, glue one of the images of the daffodils. The third image is 3D mounted. To make a skinny roll of tape, cut a 4” strip of ½” Score Tape, stick it to the craft mat, remove the covering, then gently roll up the tape with your finger until you have a long roll. Cut into sections as needed to apply to the back of the third image, then attach slightly higher and between the two daffodil images that are already glued in place.
10. Use 3D tape to attach the sentiment to the front of the card.
11. Adhere 3 pearls to front of card. See sample for placement.
12. Stamp the verse and the butterfly inside card with black ink.
