Supplies Needed:
- Stamp Set: Family Party (retired) or similar
- Dies: All That Dies
- Cardstock: Orchid Oasis, Pear Pizzazz, Basic White, Window Sheets (or similar)
- Inks: Daffodil Delight, Orchid Oasis, Pear Pizzazz
- Tools: Paper Trimmer, Stamparatus, Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Blending Brushes
- Adhesives: Tombow Liquid Glue, Dimensionals.
- For this card you will need a card base in Orchid Oasis cs, a Pear Pizzazz cs mat layer 1/2" smaller on two sides than the card front, a piece of Basic White measuring the same as the card front for your background (to be trimmed down), a second piece of Basic White for the inside measuring 1/8" less on two sides than the card front, a scrap of Basic White for the label, and a scrap of Daffodil Delight and Orchid Oasis cs for the flags.
- I cut three different sized rectangles in pieces of Window Sheet (or similar) to provide stencils for my blending. The shorter sides of each rectangle measure approximately 5/8", 1" and 1 1/2" and need to be about 2 1/2" long - this allows plenty of space to blend out the colour.
- Using the stencils, I've blended the three Challenge colours onto the larger piece of Basic White cs using a different colour for each rectangle. To achieve the faded areas, blend heavier at one end of the rectangle going lighter towards to other end but not touching it as you will create a line. Link to a video tutorial is further below.
- Trim this down to measure 3/4" less than the card front and glue this to the piece of Pear Pizzazz cs. Attach this to the card front using Dimensionals. Keep the pieces that have been trimmed away.
- Stamp a greeting onto Basic White cardstock using Orchid Oasis ink and die cut using the fancy-cornered label die from All That Dies. I used a Stamparatus to get accurate placement for all my stamping.
- Die cut two each of the straight flags in Daffodil Delight and Orchid Oasis cs. Trim about 1/2" off each one and glue these onto the back of the label then attach to the card front using Dimensionals. I didn't add any embellishments as the males in my family don't appreciate the extra pretties.
- To finish off the inside, trim down a strip that was cut away from the background and glue to the second piece of Basic White cs. Glue this to the inside of the card.
