I really liked the multi coloured flowers that I made about a week ago with Avant Garden and decided to have another go. This time using daffodil delight with watermelon wonder.

I had a strip of whisper white card stock so that I could keep fairly straight along with my stamping but the first attempt was just too straight. So I added a bit more movement and I like how it came out. I inked up the flower stamp with daffodil delight and then added a tap with a sponge dauber inked in watermelon wonder. I then went back afterwards and added the stamens, again in watermelon wonder, after stamping off once. To add a little more shimmer, which doesn’t photograph very well at all, I also went over the stamens with a clear wink of Stella. The birthday is also from Avant Garden and the colour is the same mix of daffodil delight and watermelon wonder created the same way by dabbing watermelon wonder lightly on top of the stamp once it was inked in daffodil delight. This was actually because I made this card over a couple of days and thought I was using real red and figured that it would not look right with more muted shade of the flowers. I was also sick so I’m claiming that as the reason that my brain wasn’t working!

To finish off the card, I cut out the happy using the Hello You thinlits dies in watermelon wonder and put it on a strip of whisper white before putting my layer onto a watermelon wonder card base.
