1- Separate the Day from the cardbase and cut down to 4” x 5 ¼”. Add to the center of the Balmy Blue Cardbase.


2- Add Crushed Curry watercolor wash to the 2” So Saffron Circle. Let dry. Add over the “sun” on the cardbase with dimensionals. I used a fun watercolor technique that is super quick. Take the plastic sheet from the stamp set. Add a little ink and water. You could also add a little Wink Of Stella for some sparkle. Rub it together, then dab it on the cardstock and let dry.


3- Use a Blending Brush and Bermuda Bay ink on the white side of the cloud die cuts. Add to the bottom left area of the cardbase with dimensionals.


4- Here is a simple way to blend two colors on a stamp. Stamp the butterfly image in two ink colors, keep them separate so they don't get the wrong color on the ink pad. Blend the seam with a sponge dauber in the darker color. Stamp & fussy cut. Repeat for a total of 3 butterflies. Add to the card with dimensionals.


5- Open the Melon Mambo envelope and cut a small 7/8” x 1”, tear one side add to the left side of the Basic White strip. Stamp the greeting in Melon Mambo. Flag the right edge. Add to the left corner of the cardbase with dimensionals.


6- Make a bow with 12” of Linen Thread. Tuck under the greeting on the left side. Add three embellishments.


All Done!
