Colour challenge/Thankyou card

Hello everyone and welcome to another Kylie Bertuccis monthly International Blog Highlights with the theme of Thankyou. Can you believe we are now into the second blog highlights of 2021 already, it doesn't seem possible........

Anyway the card I've made for you today is one that I've also made for a challenge which myself and 2 other fellow demonstrators set for each other each week, this one was a colour challenge using -  Night of Navy/Misty Moonlight and Daffodil Delight. Having started the card I thought it would be a really lovely 'Thankyou' card and so therefore have used it for this months Highlight Blog too, hope you like it and hop over and give me a vote!

1pc - 4-3/4" x 4-3/4" for backing of dsp piece

1pc - 2" x 4-3/4" for banner

White vellum cardstock

1pc - 2" x 4-1/2" for banner

Night of Navy twine

Card Recipe:

1. Fold and burnish the card base.

2. Using a blending brush softly blend daffodil delight ink all over the 2 dsp pieces and then glue them flat to the white pieces of cardstock (this gives a small amount of depth to the dsp without using dimensionals). Glue these 2 pieces onto the front and the inside sections of the card base.

3. On the white card piece for the inside of card stamp the image using Night of Navy ink and colour in using the light Misty Moonlight and the dark Daffodil delight Stampin' blend pens. Glue this flat to the inside of the card.

4. Fussy cut out all of the flowers that are needed for the front and the side of the card and colour them in, again using the Stampin' blend pens this time I've used both the light and dark of the Misty moonlight ones. Leave these to one side to dry off.

5. Punch the Misty moonlight and the vellum banners using the Banner triple punch and glue them together using glue dots but only where the twine is going to be, so it covers up the glue which will show through the vellum.

6. Wrap the twine around the banners I've done it 5 times and then glue the ends onto the reverse side using adhesive tape.

7. Place glue onto the back of the banners and attach to the card front.

8. Using a bone folder give all of the flowers a slight curl on the edges, to give them depth, and then attach with wet glue to the card front and the card side.

9. Stamp the sentiment using Night of Navy ink onto the white card piece, angle the sides and then glue flat to the Daffodil delight piece leaving a small border showing around all of the edges. Attach this to the card front using dimensionals.

That's the card finished apart from an envelope as it is an 'unusual size card' I hear you all say........... so using my envelope punch board, which I'm affraid has now retired, I used a 9-1/4" x 9-1/4" piece of Misty moonlight cardstock from the In colours 12" x 12" cardstock 153076  and started at the 4" mark and proceeded to make my envelope...

Once made I then stamped the same image from the inside of the card and coloured it in, onto a 3-1/8" x 4-7/8" piece of white cardstock and then glued it to the front of the envelope.

Hope you enjoyed the project, would love if you could leave me a comment and maybe if you like my card you could hop over and give me your vote, but don't forget to look at all of the other lovely projects that have been made by some very talented people.
