May Good Things Grow Center Stair Card

Spring weather and spring flowers have been on my mind these last few days. It has been so cold and dreary here! I cannot wait until spring when the ground begins to warm, the flowers and plants are beginning to push through the dirt, and all thoughts of snow are a distant memory. Today's card is a springtime center stair fun fold card using the Dragonfly Garden stamp set.

 

The wildflower stamp is my favorite stamp in this set! I love the echinacea flowers and the little daisy-like flowers! The stamp reminds me of a sketch you would see in a natural field notebook or from a botanist.

There are many ways to arrange the front of this fun fold. I chose the center panel as the focal point and made the center panel layer extend down the card front in order to highlight the long wildflower image. You could also cut cardstock layers for the sides and for the bottom instead of stamping them.

 

 

Here is a view of the center stair card from the side. The stair shape is easier to see from this angle. This card stands up on its own very well, making this fun fold a great display card option! I can see this fun fold would make a great get well card, birthday, or Christmas card to display by the bedside, on a table, or on a mantel!

 

 

On the inside of the card, I repeated the wildflower image, leaving plenty of room to write a sweet message of encouragement to a loved one!

 

 

On the close up of the inside of the card, you can see the soft texture that the watercolor pencils bring to this delicate wildflower image!
