Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers. We made it half way through the week already. Hope your week is going well.
For today’s card I used one of my favorite stamp sets to create a different sunflower. I’m not quite sure what I was thinking when I decided to fussy cut the whole sunflower out, but I did it. Here’s my card.
My colors were inspired by Just Add Ink Challenge #474. Here are their colors.
My design was inspired by Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge #323. Here is their sketch.
I started by adhering a panel of Come To Gather Designer Series Paper to a Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I cut 2 of the Stitched Nested Labels Dies out, one in Rococo Rose cardstock and the other a size smaller in the Rococo Rose 2019-2021 In-Colors 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper. I adhered the DSP label to the Rococo Rose label using Snail and then to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
On a small Whisper White panel I stamped the 1st part of the sunflower image from the Stampin’ Up! Painted Harvest Photopolymer Stamp Set in Rococo Rose Ink. I stamped the 2nd step of the sunflower from the Painted Harvest stamp set in Blackberry Bliss Ink over the 1st image. I stamped the sunflower center image from the Painted Harvest stamp set in Crumb Cake Ink. I stamped the sunflower seed image from the Painted Harvest stamp set in Soft Suede Ink. I then fussy cut the sunflower out using my Paper Snips. I adhered Stampin’ Dimensionals. to the back of the sunflower and added some of the Rose Metallic Thread to it so that it was sneaking out all around the sunflower. I adhered the sunflower to the card front. I stamped 3 of the leaf images from the Painted Harvest stamp set on a small panel of Whisper White cardstock. I stamped the detailed leaf image in Mossy Meadow Ink and the fill in leaf image in Mossy Meadow Ink stamping off once. I punched the leaves out using my Leaf Punch. I adhered the leaves under the sunflower using Glue Dots.
On a strip of Blackberry Bliss cardstock I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! A Little Lace Cling Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I immediately sprinkled it with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder and set it using my Heat Tool. I made a banner of the sentiment strip. I adhered the sentiment to the card front using Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added some Pearl Basic Jewels that I had colored in using my Dark Blackberry Bliss Stampin’ Blend Marker.
On the inside I stamped the sunflower image from the Painted Harvest stamp set, the same as I did for the card front, on the bottom corner of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the sentiment from the Painted Harvest stamp set in the center of the Whisper White panel in Blackberry Bliss Ink. I adhered the Whisper White panel to the inside of the Blackberry Bliss card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I stamped the sunflower image from the Painted Harvest stamp set on the front of the envelope the same as I did for the card front. I adhered a panel of the 2019-2021 In-Color 6 X 6 DSP to the envelope flap.
Thank you for visiting my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
