ID: MC Jan/14 - Daisies - Each of Us card
size: 7"w x 5"h closed

Created: January 14, 2014

I came across this card style called Double Dutch Fold on Pinterest. I don't like making top fold cards because they ALWAYS fall flat on their faces... but I saw this as an exception.

I'm also using a couple stamps from the newest Valentine stamp set from Quietfire Design as well as an eCut file of the chocolate chip available from the Silhouette online store.

 

I scored my white card so that the front flap was about 1.5" shorter than the back section.

I cut the wrap around piece from Kraft cardstock 1.75"h x 11"w, folded it in half and cut to get 2 pieces 5.5"w. Scored both pieces at approx 3.5", then adhered the 2" piece to the back of the card. Adhered the heart ribbon to both sides with Sookwang tape.

Electronically cut the chocolate kiss from white cardstock and colored with Distress "Pumice Stone" lightly, removed the little piece that's the shine, and colored the rest of the chocolate with "Gathered Twigs".  Adhered to the flap slightly off set off the edge so the left flap would sit under it to stay closed. Added a layer of Glossy Accents and set aside to dry.

eCut a daisy type flower 3 times from white cardstock, colored with "Mustard Seed" & touched it with "Picked Raspberry". Shaped the petals with a large balled stylus.

Used the negative from the daisy eCut and sponged the front flap with a dirty yellow sponge.

Die cut the oval (Spellbinders), penciled in the shape to the inside and stamped the sentiment using Versafine Black Onyx. Colored some areas with colored pencils.

Die cut the flourish (Cheery Lynn) from white cardstock and colored with a dirty green sponge. Adhered to card front, then adhered the flowers. Added some Liquid Pearls drops "Buttercup" & "Cantaloupe", when dry added some black dots with a Sharpie pen.

As a final touch added some monoline calligraphy "can I have both please" with a Zig Writer and again colored some of the spaces. Then stamped the 2nd sentiment "XOXO" with the black
