Daffodil Blossom

Mmmmm. Tasty. Love the new Build-a-Blossom stamp set and punch combo. I think this is the perfect way to use this stamp set, inked up and stamped on Whisper White cardstock. I have seen many beautiful cards using ink on colored cardstock, and they are lovely. But ink doesn't transfer as well onto colored cardstock as it does with the white. You get the beautiful contrast of white and ink color, and I have made the base layer of the flower with colored cardstock. Everything here is Daffodil Delight, but almost any color will work.

Want a tip on shaping the petals? Just grab your bone folder and hold onto the point of the petal; treat the petal like curling ribbon and firmly run the bone folder from point to tip of the petal, voila, curled petal. I hope some of the texture will survive being mailed. We'll see!

Happy Stamping,
