Splendid Day Card

Awhile back, Stampin' Up!® offered a demonstrator-only crafting event. It was a blast! We learned new techniques and had fun exploring the gorgeous Splendid Day Suite, with its multi-coloured, patterned foil papers. 

My favourite card at the event was a lovely one that focused on Stampin' Blend Markers and a little bumblebee stamp:

We started with a standard 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" card base in Soft Sea Foam. Then we added a 3 1/4" x 4 3/4" panel of Splendid Day DSP on an angle. On a 3" x 4 3/4" Basic White panel we scribbled all the way across with Fresh Freesia Stampin' Blends on the bottom and Pool Party Stampin' Blends on the top, to create almost a watercolour look. Next we stamped the bumblebee from the Splendid Thoughts stamp set in Pool Party and Fresh Freesia, over the marker colouring. What a cool effect! 

That just left the finishing touches: stamping the sentiment in Fresh Freesia on a scrap & cutting chevrons in the label's ends, attaching a length of beautiful Soft Sea Foam Seam Binding Ribbon to the back of the label, and adding a couple of Soft Sea Foam die cuts made with the Splendid Stems Dies. Once we attached those, we had a very cheerful and elegant card to show for it!
