Hi there,
Can you believe that April is almost around the corner? We actually do have some signs of Spring here in New Jersey: the snow has melted, the Witch Hazel is almost finished blooming and the crocuses (header photo) have just poked their heads out! As long as I can get out in my yard to clean up, even though the temperatures are still in the 40's, I'm a happy girl! The warm sun on one's back is such a welcoming sign. Daffodils should be blooming in a week or too also. .... and they are also blooming on my card! Today I am using the Sparkle N Sprinkle Stamp Set Welcome Spring 937.
I stamped on vellum with the daffodil image from the Welcome Spring Set 937 in Versamark and then heat set in White Detail. The vellum was turned over and colored with Copics from the back.
Versamark was again applied, this time to the back of the vellum and heat embossed with Sparkle embossing powder.
I made a glittered frame using two Memory Box Cross Stitched Frame Borders and a piece of Super Adhesive sheet on top of yellow cardstock. Lemonade Glitter was applied to the exposed sticky surface.
Another two daffodil flowers were stamped on velum in Versamark, heat embossed in white and colored again from the back. They were both fussy cut.
I added foam strips to the back of the frame, so it was raised and then some Nuvo Deluxe adhesive was applied to a couple of the stems where the vellum flowers were placed.
For the backing I scored the white card base on the top, the right and left sides, a quarter inch from the edges. This was then sponged with Memento Dandelion Yellow. I stamped the sentiment Welcome Spring (after applying the anti-static bag) in Versamark and then heat embossed with Gold Detail. The frame was then attached to the yellow background, with the mounting tape.
I hope you have enjoyed my share today. This was a quick and fun make for me!

Whoa! Shona, I think this is my favorite card you've ever done! GORGEOUSNESS, and such a delicateness. It's amazing how the daffodils are so fragile, and yet, they survive the long, cold darkness and emerge in such beauty - just like your creation! So so SO beautiful! Thanks for showing how you attached the blooms, too. Your gardening skills are definitely showcased in this masterpiece! hugs, de
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this card. I always liked daffodils and yours look so pretty stamped onto the vellum and colored with such cheery colors. And, the glittery frame is fantastic too. Adding some sponging around the edges with the yellow makes it even more gorgeous! You certainly did a fantastic job on this one.
