Carefree Day card

Here is a bright and cheerful card featuring a kite and made using the Kite Delight stamp set.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the Carefree Day card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅝” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5⅝” by 3⅝”
Poppy Parade card – 4⅞” by 1”
Basic White card – ⅜” strip

 

I tore a large Post It Note in half from top to bottom and adhered both sides, temporarily to the large panel of Basic White card leaving a gap between the pieces.

Using Blending Brushes, I added ink to the masked off area starting with Daffodil Delight at the bottom, then Flirty Flamingo in the middle and lastly Mango Melody.

The largest kite was stamped in Night of Navy ink and the string of bows added using the same ink.

The dots on the kite were coloured using Poppy Parade Blends Marker and the balloons coloured in using the Poppy Parade and Daffodil Delight Blends Markers. The whole panel was then embossed using the Timeworn Type Embossing Folder. The strip of Poppy Parade card was added to the left-side of the embossed panel and the whole piece mounted on the Thick Basic White card base using Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy ink onto the strip of Basic White card and trimmed down using scissors.

A trio of Artistry Blooms Sequins completed the card. So pretty.
