Instructions for a Peach Summer WOW Card
- Fold the card along the score lines to create a zig zag.
- On the Basic White mat, stamp some blossom using 1st and 2nd generation stamping in Calypso Coral. Add highlights with yellow and coral watercolour pencils.
- Shape the top of all your layers in the same way. Hold the two layers together so the top corners meet and then trim of together on a diagonal.
- Having trimmed all the card and DSP layers, stick them in place. The centre panel will have DSP on the front and the stamped Basic White panel on the back.
- On some Basic White, in Calypso Coral ink, stamp 3 large peaches; 2 sets of small peaches and 2 sets of blossom, using 2nd generational stamping for one. Add highlights again with watercolour pencils. Stamp one branch and 3 leaves/stems in Pear Pizzazz. Die cut all these pieces. Also die cut some small leaves from Pear Pizzazz cardstock.
- Stamp the greetings onto some Basic White card with Calypso Coral ink and then trim and add a mat of Calypso Coral Cardstock.
- Arrange all these greetings and elements along the top of each diagonal and down the front of the card.
You should now have a stunning card that will provide be a real WOW for the recipient and take pride of place on their shelf.
