Delightful Dahlia - Mistified!!

The first thing I wanted to try with my new MISTI 

(Most Incredible Stamping Tool Invented) 

was the multi-step flowers from Delightful Dahlia stamp set. 

I've never been able to line these images up - until now!! 

And because it was so awesome, I decided to make a card set 

using a design by Nichole Heady ((from this post). 

All together I stamped 12 large and 12 small flowers - 

each with the three step stamps!!

I think I was making up for lost time with this set!!

PINK FLOWERS:

Inks: Pure Poppy, Hibiscus Burst & Sweet Blush inks.

 White adhesive pearls accent the flower centers.

Leaves: Fine Linen ink.

(full strength and stamped off once to create a shadow effect.)

Sentiments: Dark Chocolate ink.

Card bases: Hibiscus Burst . 

 All white panels were impressed with the Canvas Impression Plate.

 Sentiment: Mum's the Word

Sentiment:  Mini Blooms

Sentiment: Delightful Dahlias Additions

The inside of the cards were lined with white 

card stock and stamped with the small dahlia. 

Here's a sample of one of the card interiors: 

Sentiment: Big Birthday Wishes

 GOLD FLOWERS

 Inks: Summer Sunrise (full strength); 

Summer Sunrise (stamped off once) and Harvest Gold.

Card bases: Harvest Gold 

All other details are the same as the pink set above. 

Sentiment:  Mum's the Word

Sentiment: Mini Blooms

 Sentiment: Delightful Dahlias Additions

Sentiment: Delightful Dahlias

  I decided to give this set of cards to my future daughter-in-law when we visited with them earlier this month. I created a little gift box and tag to co-ordinate with the set.

The box was created with one piece of Hibiscus Burst card stock 

and some trial and error!! I wished I had made note of the measurements so I could refer to them if I wanted to make this again, but I was in a hurry to finish this before we left on our trip. All six cards and envelopes fit nicely into the box.

A Tag Sale #8 was used to create the tag 

and a white ribbon and bow are the finishing touches. 

 I stamped the outline image from the original Delightful Dahlias 

onto a piece of white card stock (cut with the 2nd die from Tag Sale #8) 

with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, so I could colour with copics. 

The leaves (Sending You) were added with Spring Moss ink.

The sentiments (Just For You) are stamped with Dark Chocolate ink.

I used the Linen Impression Plate to create some interest and 

then added this panel to patterned paper tag.

Wow! This was a long post!! 

Thanks for joining me today.
