Sunflower Season

 

Hi Friends!

This week the Stamp Simply Design Team have been sharing their favorite stamp sets.  I always have trouble picking a favorite since I love all of the stamp sets at Stamp Simply!

I love the sunflower image as well as the fonts on the sentiments in the Sunflower Season stamp set.  I also love the coordinating die in the Sunflower Season bundle and how it matches the floral image perfectly.

I enjoy playing along with online challenges and since sunflowers are also one of my favorite flowers, I am participating with The Flower Challenge #81 “Use Your Favorite Flower” Challenge.  I am also playing along with the Word Art Wednesday #599-#600 Anything Goes Challenge.

 

To create this card:

Ink the sunflower image using Versafine Onyx Black ink, stamp onto white cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Once the embossing has cooled, color with water-based markers and die cut with the coordinating die.

Die cut two additional flowers from plain white cardstock and layer behind the colored image.

Trim a piece of Craft Consortium Ink Drops – Earth designer paper to 4” x 5 ¼”. I loved this particular piece of paper since it looked like a painted landscape and thought it would be a perfect backdrop for the sunflower :-)

De-static the lower right hand area and upper left hand area with an embossing powder tool.

Ink the sentiments from Sunflower Season with Versafine Black Onyx ink, stamp onto the prepared areas, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Mount onto a piece of black cardstock and adhere to a white card base.

Mount the die cut sunflower image with dimensional foam.

Use a clear glitter pen to add shimmer to the petals and add a few rhinestones to finish off the card.
