This week’s DD90 “Black Tie Week” Dynamic Duo Challengecombines Daffodil Delight with Basic Black and the dessert option is a
shaped/fun fold card. Plus, I used six punches for the SUO90 Challenge that is still on for another week (seven if you count the corner rounder in the Envelope Punch Board :-)) This also was created with the LOVEFEST2014B Lovey Dovey Challenge at Splitcoaststampers in mind :-)
I have mentioned in the past that my husband and I collect
antique honey dishes and one of the criteria that we generally seek is a bee on
the dish. Whenever I see black and
yellow together, I think of those honey dishes so I knew that I would have to
incorporate a little bee somewhere on my card :-).
Again, I hope that you will find the time to stop by and check
out the rest of the Dynamic Duos Design Team projects and create one of your
own using this week’s colors - we would love to have you join us!!
Repeatedly stamp the elements using Basic Black Classic Ink
onto two pieces of the new Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper (DSP). Loosely fill in the flowers using the Basic
Black Stampin’ Write marker and the Chalk Marker for the centers (for the tag piece
only). Stamp the bee on the tag as well,
leaving room for the treatment at the top of the tag.
Use the Big Shot™ with the largest Floral Frame Collection
Framelit™ and cut out the card base (fold the Whisper White cardstock in half
and make sure that the fold remains within the framelit™ so it would not be
cut).
Also cut out a piece of the
stamped Watercolor Wonder DSP (created in the step above without the Chalk
Marker centers) with the same size framelit™ and adhere to the card base. Add a scrap piece of Basic Black cardstock
along the fold of the card, trimming the edges from behind as needed.
Cut the stamped DSP into a 2” strip and create the tag shape
using the Scallop Tag Topper Punch. Cut
another tag from Basic Black cardstock and round the corners on both using the
Envelope Punch Board. Mount the Basic
Black Scallop tag behind the DSP tag (I cut mine in half so the edges would show
a bit at the top and bottom).
I used scraps for the next few steps- layer a piece of
embossed Basic Black cardstock over the tag and trim to fit (previously embossed
with the Square Lattice Textured Impressions™ Embossing Folder- hard to see in
the picture), add the stamped/punched sentiment (used the Hexagon Punch for the
banner), the Basic Black leaves (from the Bird Builder Punch) and Daffodil
Delight rolled flowers (see my previous posts on the rolled flowers using the 1
¼” and 1 ½” Scallop Circle Punches). Add
the string of Pearls to cover the seam of the embossed layer.
Create the paper bow from another piece of embossed Basic
Black cardstock (again, this one was embossed with the Square Lattice Textured
Impressions™ Embossing Folder). I used
the Large Oval Punch to create the loops and cut the tails with the Hexagon
Punch. Add the bow at the top of the
tag, adhere the Large Pearl in the center.
Punch an embossed piece of Whisper White cardstock using the 2
½” Circle Punch and a 2 ½” Circle from Basic Black cardstock- cut both in half,
add the Basic Black layer behind the Whisper White and adhere to the card (the
tag will cover the split).
Add the completed tag using Stampin’ Dimensionals®. Use a Stampin’ Write Basic Black marker to
color the edges of the die cut frame and lightly sponge Daffodil Delight Classic Ink to finish off the card.
