Hi and welcome to March! Wow, the third month of the year and Week 38 for the Colour Creations challenge and tonight it is Pumpkin Pie. I find sometimes an orange colour can be quite strong and too bright but paired with the colours in more of this gorgeous Flowering Fields DSP it results in a cheerful card.
I’m loving these fancy fold cards and instructions that the teams own Di Furniss puts together. This one is a Shadow Box fancy fold card. The instructions can be found in this YouTube video. Card size is 5 inch x 5 inch (or 12.1cm x 12.1cm).
I won’t repeat the card instructions here but the products used are:
- Base layer: Pumpkin Pie card stock
- Mat layer: BumbleBee card stock
- DSP layer: Flowering Fields
- Layering Circles die set
I played around with the Catching Butterflies stamp set that you can receive for FREE with a qualifying purchase during Sale-a-bration. This will end soon on 16 March. So get in quick!
I stamped the little girl with Memento Black ink twice, once on Basic White card stock and again on DSP. The latter I fussy cut only the girls dress and glued to the dress on the Basic White stamped image. This technique is called paper piecing.
Before adhering the printed dress I coloured the skin and hair with Stampin’ Blends using Petal Pink for skin and mixture of Light Crumb Cake, Bronze and Dark So Saffron in her hair. I added Light Smoky Slate to the butterfly net. The image was fussy cut and adhered to the front of the card with dimensionals.
After stamping the butterflies they were also coloured using Dark Pumpkin Pie and Mango Melody blends. The image was die cut using Layering Circles die set mounted on a scalloped circle and adhered to the back layer. The background was coloured with Light Pool Party Stampin’ Blend and I also added some Brass Gold butterflies to finish off.
I stamped and coloured more butterflies to the back of the card with a sentiment from the same stamp set in Pumpkin Pie ink.

Oh Rosa, this is simply gorgeous and oh so sweet! It makes my heart happy just looking at your card. I love your choice of DSP, it goes perfectly with the little girl. The paper piecing dress is gorgeous too, and I also love the Pool Party blended background behind the butterflies.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous Shadow Box fancy fold card, Rosa. Your colouring of the girl is so sweet and I love how you've added the brass butterflies to the butterflies already in her net – genius!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet, fun, and happy card, Rosa! You have showcased Pumpkin Pie beautifully, and I love the images you combined with that beautiful DSP.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute card, Rosa. I love the paper piecing technique with the dress and the beautiful tulips patterned paper is perfect with the butterflies.
ReplyDeleteLove this cute card. The tulips provide such a happy background for the young girl and the butterflies.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely card Rosa and a great idea to team the tulip paper with the Catching Butter;lies stamp set. They go so well together.
