Sunflower Season

 


Hi Friends!

This week at the Stamp Simply blog, the Stamp Simply Design Team have been sharing stemmed floral cards.   I love the stem florals that we have at Stamp Simply, especially the Sunflower Seasons Bundle for fall cards.

Again, if you have not had a chance to check out my Sister DT cards yet, I hope you will do so- absolutely gorgeous inspiration from all!



I decided to pair the Sunflower Seasons Bundle with a bit of stenciling and a scrap piece of Welcome Autumn Carta Bella paper.

To create this Mixed Media card:

Trim a piece of white cardstock to 4” x 5 ¼”.  Using the Tim Holtz Ironwork Stencil along with a stencil brush, apply Bundled Sage Distress Oxide ink.

Once the ink has been applied, use a water brush with Frost White Shimmer Paint and apply shimmer to the stenciled areas.

De-static the lower right hand corner with an embossing powder tool, ink the verse sentiment with Versafine Onyx Black ink, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.



Add the white die cut crochet lace to the card front.

Trim a piece of the sage gingham designer paper, mount onto black cardstock and mount onto the card front.

Wrap several pieces of linen thread over the designer paper panel, wrapping the ends behind the front panel.

Adhere the entire card front to a white card base.

De-static a piece of black cardstock with an embossing powder tool, stamp the sentiment from Sunflower Seasons with Versamark, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

Die cut the sentiment with the Fishtail Sentiments Banners Die.  Mount onto the card front with dimensional foam.

De-static a piece of white cardstock with an embossing powder tool, ink the sunflower image with Versafine Onyx Black ink, stamp onto the prepared cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat tool.

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

Also die cut two additional sunflowers from white cardstock, layer behind the colored image.

Mount onto the card front with dimensional foam to finish off the card.

I enjoy playing along with online challenges and will be joining the Word Art Wednesday #609-#610 “Anything Goes” Challenge along with the Double D "Sunflowers" Challenge.
