Daffodil Yellow

Daffodil Yellow

This project is going to be used for two different card challenges, one a sketch challenge and the other a Tic Tac Toe challenge.

Hannah from Hancrafted Creations is celebrating her first year Anniversary as a Stampin' Up Demonstrator so she is doing some Give-aways.  This particular Give-away is to win 2 stamp sets by creating our own project from the card sketch she used on her video tutorial.  The card sketch is this:

The other challenge is from Sandra Riley,  The Cotswold Crafter, who set a Tic Tac Toe game for the card challenge.  

The card project followed the bottom line (Yellow, Stitching, Rectangle).  My project that I have been able to use for both these challenges is photographed below:

So I started off with a white card stock card base (8 1/4 x 5 7/8" scored at 4 1/8") and a yellow layer of card stock (5 5/8 x 3 7/8").  Then with a light piece of yellow card stock I cut out (x2) stitched squares (3"), one of the pieces I ran through the Big Shot in Stampin' Up 'Climbing Vines' embossing folder; the other I stamped one of the flowers from Stampin' Up 'Perennial Flower'.  On the yellow layer card stock I stamped with Delightful Daffodil ink using another flower stamp from the 'Perennial Flower' stamp set but a smaller one this time; I continued stamping this flower image inside the card and on the bottom of the envelope as well.  On one of the rectangles I stamped the dots and on the other the sentiment "Happy Birthday".    I stamped (x2) of the Daisy flower stamp before punching this out with the Daisy Punch and I stamped the middle too, this I punched out with the 1/2" circle punch.  All in all I was stamped and punched out!  LOL  

I did one more bit of stamping, I stamped the sentiment 'Happy Mail' on the front of the envelope along with the image of the duckling delivering a letter so that the recipient of this card would know that they were not getting a bill.  

It is fairly obvious I feel how this card went together, it does not have very much depth due to the amount of layers it has.  The only part on a dimension is the Daisy; the rest has all been adhered using double sided tape flat (oh no - sorry there is a thin dimension under the 'day' part of the sentiment because it is raised with the layers and the right-hand side needed raising slightly as well.)

I do like this card it made me smile all the while I was making it, perhaps it is the colour, perhaps the layout or it could be that I love both the stamps sets I used "Perennial Birthday" and "Daisy Delight".  Anyhow it does not matter, I hope you like it and if you do  please leave me some feedback/comments.

Till next time, keep crafting!
