SPRING HAS SPRUNG

A great color combination, one that I've been using quite often recently, is Pool Party, Calypso Coral and Crushed Curry. And it is a wonderful combo for anything SPRING! 

I am entering this card into the first ever TGIF Challenge:

TGIFC 01

And I'll even throw in a tutorial on how to make this spring-y card!

Supplies:

Flower Patch Stamp Set

Teeny Tiny Wishes

Pool Party ink

Calypso Coral ink

Crushed Curry ink

Pear Pizzazz ink

Whisper White cardstock

Calypso Coral cardstock

Pool Party cardstock

Crushed Curry cardstock

Big Shot

Flower Fair Framelits

Stampin' Dimensionals

1/2" Circle Punch

7/8" Scallop Circle Punch

Clear Buttons

Glue Dots

Instructions:

Fold a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Pool Party cardstock in half, creasing well with a bone folder. Adhere a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of Calypso Coral cardstock to this card base.

Towards the bottom of a 3 3/4" x 5" piece of Whisper White cardstock, stamp the stems alongside each other. Stamp them twice, the first time full strength, staggering the image the second time and stamping off first before stamping.

On a scrap of Whisper White, stamp the larger flower in Calypso Coral, stamping off first on a piece of scrap paper, followed by the spiky flower over it in full-strength Calypso Coral. Use the matching Framelit to cut out the flower image. On a scrap of Crushed Curry, stamp the larger of the centers in Crushed Curry, punching this out with the 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch. Adhere this to the center of the flower with a Stampin' Dimensional. Center a clear button with a Glue Dot. Glue this flower atop the left stem.

Stamp the 5-petal flower in stamped-off Pool Party ink on the Whisper White scrap, overlaid by the small spiky flower in full-strength Pool Party. Cut this out with the appropriate Framelit. Stamp the smaller center in Calypso Coral on a scrap of Whisper White, punching it out with the 1/2" Circle Punch. Glue this to the center of the smaller flower. Attach this flower atop its stem with a Stampin' Dimensional, overlapping the larger flower.

With Calypso Coral ink, ink up only the "hello" portion of the Hello Baby stamp from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set. Stamp this alongside the smaller flower.

Adhere this finished flower piece to the card front.

Spring-y
