Happy Sunday, friends!
Time for a fun new creative challenge over at The Paper Players!
This week, Joanne is hosting our Color Challenge.
This week’s color combo is a fun one! All of these colors can be found in one of my favorite Designer Series Paper packs (Design A Daydream) but I love that we could use ANY combination of the colors on our cards. So pick one, two…or all six and have fun creating!
*I’ve listed all of the measurements and details for my card below and there is a full supply list at the very end of this post.
For my card, I actually did use the Design A Daydream DSP as my starting point. Just a note: the DSP is a Host Exclusive, which can be purchased with a minimum $150 (USD) order. Once I came upon the floral pattern, I decided to use the Sending Smiles stamp set and coordinating Sending Dies from the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. I just love how easy it is to create the beautiful stamped flowers and you can never go wrong with a big, bold sentiment!
I also added some texture to the Basic White layer using the Brick & Mortar 3D Embossing Folder. I wanted to bring in a little more of the Daffodil Delight color, so I created some ink splatters on the textured cardstock. I simply smooshed my closed ink pad to transfer some ink to the lid and picked up the ink on my Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. Then I tapped the brush against the side of my finger to “flick” the color and sparkle on the cardstock. If you try this, be sure to protect your work surface with some scrap paper and also make sure to clean out your ink pad lid when you are finished.
I kind of wish I added a little more ink, but you know how it goes. Sometimes it’s better to quit while you're ahead to avoid adding TOO much and making a mess…which was exactly what I did on the first try. Haha!

Finally, here is a peek inside the card! I simply stamped another flower and added a little strip of leftover DSP from the front. I left the sentiment blank to write a handwritten note.
