I am on the Colour Inkspiration Design Team and I love their colour challenges. I made this stunning waterfall funfold card as the colours just worked perfectly for what I had in mind.
As you can probably see -I am showcasing the Dainty Delight stampset once again!!
I just can’t get enough of this stunning, stunning bundle!!
I’ve changed this waterfall funfold card just a little from the original design that I cased from my Team Leader -Jacque Williams.
My card doesn’t have a third folding card -and that’s because I wanted the full impact of the stamped image to be on display.
So, let me tell you how to re-create this card.

- Adhere the larger DSP onto one of the larger pieces of blushing bride cardstock
- Apply some tear and tape to the back of the 1½ section of the waterfall section
- Now adhere this to the rectangle DSP/cardstock
- Make sure the waterfall mechanism lies behind the rectangle
- Now adhere some tear and tape to the side of each rectangle and adhere that to the larger DSP piece
- Now take a piece of basic white cardstock that measures 2 1/8″ wide and a reasonable length
- Stamp your image using memento black
- Colour in the leaves and flowers using write markers
- NOW cut two(2) 2 1/8″ x 2 1/8″ pieces out of your stamped image
- Gently blend sahara sand over them
- Adhere a strip of tear/tape just below the 1st waterfall score line.
- Adhere the 1st stamped image onto blushing bride cardstock square
- Adhere onto tear/tape
- Repeat with the second stamped image
- Stamp a sentiment onto the 3rd square of basic white cardstock
- Adhere this onto the mint macaron square
- Adhere this below the floral image using tear/tape
- Make sure this bottom doesn’t exceed the cardbase
- Place your matte dots and butterflies in place
