Dainty Delight Card Class, Card 1

Dainty Delight Celebrate You Card

My Weekly Card Class From ME happens to showcase some dainty and delightful flowers. Our focus this week is the Dainty Delight Bundle by Stampin’ Up!. Need more info on this class? Click here.

While Spring in Maine is being a bit fickle, one can dream of the delightful flowers that will be appearing soon as the seasons change. For my first card in this series, Dainty Delight Celebrate You, I am really in the spring-like mood! Read on to see how this card design came into being.

Fresh Freesia and Soft Seafoam

When you start with pretty colors, like Fresh Freesia and Soft Seafoam, it is so easy to make a pretty card! In fact, I had just recently played with these colors together and I was eager to pull them back out.

Fresh Freesia

I started by heat embossing the sentiment “celebrate you” from the Dainty Delight Stamp Set in White Embossing Powder on my Fresh Freesia die cut oval.

Next, I added additional Fresh Freesia Ink with my Small Blending Brush, right over the embossed words. By leaving part of my oval un-sponged, I was able to create a beautiful combination of purple tones.

Soft Seafoam

The Soft Seafoam color in this card plays a secondary, or supporting, role. I die cut the curved leafy frond with the Dainty Delight Dies on Soft Seafoam Cardstock. The natural curve of this die cut follows the outline of my oval perfectly.
