Hi Friends!
Welcome to the #229
Sunflower Delight Challenge at The Card Concept!
We are thrilled to be
back from our summer break, and I absolutely love our challenge photo! The sunflowers against the white brick background
of the fireplace along with the black accents inspired me to create a Clean and
Layered/ Mixed Media card.
Many of you who
follow my blog know that I have a personal goal to use what I already own since
I have so many stamps, designer papers, ribbons and lace, that I could create
for many, many years before running out, lol! I am sure many of you can relate,
lol!
I love Graphic45
papers and pulled out a sheet from their Let It Bee collection and paired it
with a sentiment from Divinity
Designs, LLC for this quick card.
I also like to
participate in other online challenge blogs and will be linking this card to the Love Those Pretty Papers Sept 26 "Anything Goes - Fall Florals" Challenge and the Word Art Wednesday #768-#769 "Anything Goes" Challenge. I absolutely love Graphic 45 paper and struggle to add anything to it, lol!
We hope you will take
a moment to stop by our challenge blog and check out how the rest of our fabulous
Design
Team were inspired as well- gorgeous cards from all!

To create this card:
Trim a piece of the
8x8 Let It Bee designer paper to approx. 3 ¾” x 5” and mount it onto a piece of
black cardstock.
Trim the black
cardstock to approx. 4” x 5 ¼”.
Add a piece of white
crochet lace to the background panel.
Adhere a piece of 1”
black grosgrain ribbon over the lace edge, wrap the ends of the ribbon around
the panel.
Mount the layered
panel onto a 4 ¼” x 5 ½” card base.
De-static a piece of
white cardstock with an embossing powder tool.
Ink the verse sentiment
from Scripture
Collection 4 (Divinity Designs, LLC) with Versafine Black Onyx ink, stamp
onto the prepared cardstock, apply clear embossing powder and heat set with a
heat tool.
Once the embossing
has cooled, die cut with stitched circle die.
Die cut two
additional circles from black cardstock, layer together and adhere the
sentiment over the black circle “frame”.
Mount onto the card
front with dimensional foam (FYI- this sentiment covers up part of the words “Let
It Bee” on the background paper).
Add a pearls to the
sentiment layer to finish off the card.
