You’re Inspiring Card Tutorial

• Old
  Olive: 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”, scored and folded at 4-1/4”;
• Whisper
  White: 5-1/4” x 4”, 4-1/2” x 3-1/2” and strip 5/8” wide x
  4”
• Basic
  Black: Strip 3/4” wide by 4”

1. Lightly
   Spritz one half of the Old Olive cardstock base with water, place it
   into the Layered Leaves Embossing folder, and run the folder through
   the Big Shot. Set the embossed card stock aside to dry.

2. Stamp
   the daffodil image on the 4-1/2” x 3-1/2” piece of Whisper White
   cardstock using Memento Ink.

3. Colour
   the stems and leaves of the flowers using the Light Old Olive
   Stampin’ Blends marker. Add shading to these stems/leaves with the
   Dark Old Olive Stampin’ Blends marker. Blend this shading in with
   the light Old Olive marker.

4. Colour
   the daffodil leaves with the Light Daffodil Delight Stampin’
   Blends marker. Try to leave a small edge of white around the
   cup/corona of the flower, but it’s okay if you completely colour
   it in. Using the shading lines on the flowers as a guide, add some
   additional colour with the Dark Daffodil Delight marker. Blend out
   the lines using the Light Daffodil Delight marker. If you feel the
   contrast between the light/dark isn’t strong enough, go back in
   and add more of the dark colour, blending it again with the light
   marker.

5. Colour
   the daffodil stigma with the light Pumpkin Pie Stampin’ Blends
   marker.

6. Die
   cut the daffodil image using the large oval from the Layering Ovals
   Framelits. Glue this to the card with Fast Fuse Adhesive

7. Using
   Memento ink, stamp the sentiment onto the thin piece of Whisper
   White cardstock. Punch the ends with the Banner Triple Punch. Punch
   the ends from the Basic Black cardstock the same way. I find it easy
   to punch one end, and then try to gauge the approximate length that
   you need to cut away from the other end – if you’re not sure, err
   on the side of caution because you can always punch a bit more off.
   Glue the two layers together and adhere to your card with Stampin’
   Dimensionals.

8. Cut
   a 10” piece of Basic Black Baker’s Twine. Tie into a bow and
   adhere to the card with a Glue Dot.
