Monochromatic Daisy Garden Fun Fold Card

I joined the sixth Creativate Retreat in the fall, a great opportunity for demonstrators and customers alike to learn new tricks and stretch their imaginations and skills. This time ’round they Creativate Team is offering a weekly challenge leading up to the October 23rd retreat.

The first week’s challenge: ย a monochromatic card. ย My card:

Garden Wishes monochromatic hand stamped card

 

    • The card base is the usual 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″ and folded creating the card. ย This time you’ll make an additional score line on the front flap at 2-1/8″ and fold it back on itself.
    • Open the card and cut a diagonal line from the center fold to 2″ from the bottom of the card front. ย Please excuse my diagram below but it works and it’s how I trouble shot the cuts.

Cutting template/diagram

 

    • I cut the Basic White layer following the same cutting as above. Using my Paper Trimmer I cut off 1/8″ on either side the the center fold line. If necessary cut off 1/8″ from the bottom of this diagonally cut piece.
    • Place the 2 Basic White pieces 1/4″ apart from each other, in the position they’d be in on the card front ย (the partย inside is folded back on itself) and then stamp the Garden Wishes image using Misty Moonlight classic ink.
    • Clean the stamp and then use the Misty Moonlight marker to color only the one flower and then stamp it on the 5-1/4″ x 4″ Basic White piece that will be attached to the inside of the card.

This card is slightly different (not 100% monochromatic) from the card shown at the top of the page:

You can use many stamp set to pull off this lovely monochromatic type of card. ย I think the effect is rather stunning and charming.
