As with my Sneak Peek post HERE, I'm featuring the Daffodil Blooms stamp set and coordinating Daffodil Blooms Dies once again for this duo. It's such a gorgeous and versatile set, perfect for spring cards and more!
I started by selecting the ombre trios for these daffodils. Since there are two styles of daffodils in this set, I wanted to stamp them with all three shades in each trio. For the new Lemon Sorbet ink, I paired it with Chiffon and Limoncello. For the new Creamsicle ink, I paired it with Bellini and Tutti Frutti. For the new Frosted ink, I paired it with Serenade and Drive-In.
I stamped two daffodils in each pairing for each card and since I wanted a bit of variation between the two cards, I stamped a third daffodil with Creamsicle and Tutti Frutti flower for the first card and a third daffodil with Frosted and Drive-In for the second card.
For both cards, I cut the base from Neenah white linen cardstock and cut a 1.25x5.5" strip of Garden Party Gingham from the Spring Gingham Patterned Paper and adhered it to the card base.
After arranging the flowers down the left side over the gingham strip, I used Glad Press'n Seal to pick up the arrangement and preserve the position of the flowers as is. I added foam squares to the back of three of the daffodils and added glue to the back of all the others.
When I pressed the sheet of daffodils back down on the cards, they were perfectly arranged as before. I trimmed off the overhanging pieces on the bottom of the cards. When I mail them, I may trim off the excess at the top and left side of the card but for now, I'm leaving them as they are.
Next, I placed the cards in my Teal MISTI stamping tool and stamped sentiments from the Best in the Patch stamp set that best fit the space between the daffodils.
I love the way these turned out and I love the variation between the different shades of daffodils. Popping up just a few of the daffodils on each card gives them enough dimension for visual interest and I love the way the Garden Party Gingham replaces the foliage for the daffodils.
