Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle

I recently spent some time crafting with the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle, and created three cards.  Each card uses a different method of creating/coloring the sunflowers.

The background strip is created using the Hammered Metal Embossing Folder and Pacific Point Ink.

Card #1

 

Card #1 uses only the cardstock, Daffodil Delight and Granny Apple Green, to provide the color for the sunflower and leaves which are stamped in Soft Suede.  A Blender Pen is used to provide subtle coloring for the Soft Suede center.

Card #2

Card #2 uses only the die cut images and cardstock (Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede, Granny Apple Green and Soft Sea Foam) for the sunflower and leaves.

Card #3

Card #3 uses Blender Pens (Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede, and Granny Apple Green) to color the sunflowers and leaves.

Quiet Meadow Thinking of You Card

 

I love the 2021-2023 In Color color collection.  The colors coordinate nicely with each other.

Here, I've used the Fresh Freesia along with the Soft Succulent.  The floral image from the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set was inked up only once to stamp all three images - first in the center, then to the left, and then to the right.

Having coordinating Designer Series Paper makes it soo easy to design and create.  The 2021-2023 Designer Series Paper Pack coordinates nicely for the bottom edge of the card. 

For the greeting, I used the Everyday Label Punch to punch 2 pieces - one from Soft Succulent, and one from Basic White.  The Soft Succulent piece was then cut in half and "stretched" so that it provided an even "layer" behind the Basic White.  No one can tell it wasn't a whole piece behind there.

The Soft Succulent Open Ribbon and In color Jewels finish it off.

Floral Hearts Dies Birthday Card

 

Here's a non-traditional take on a color scheme.  The Coordinating Blushing Bride and Highland Heather colors provide the backdrop, while the Flowers and leaves are die cut in the opposite color traditionally used -- Garden Green for the flowers, instead of for the leaves.  The look is finished off with Champagne Rhinestones that tie in nicely with the Blushing Bride color.

Supplies Used

• Artistically Inked
• Ink
• Versamark
• Paper
• Basic White Cardstock
• Blushing Bride Cardstock
• Highland Heather Cardstock
• Tools
