Good Wednesday morning stamping friends. I hope you are all having a wonderful week. We’re halfway through and on our way to the weekend.

The Card Concepts is back with their Inspiration/Color Challenges and I hope you will join in. The inspiration photo #229 is Sunflower Delight.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Radiant Sunflowers Bundle, the Wood Grain wonders Designer Series Paper and the Stampin’ Up! Flourish & Frames Dies for my card today. As a lot of you know I LOVE Sunflowers, and I was inspired by the overall theme along with the colors in the photo for my Clean & Layered Card.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge #229.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Adhere a panel of Wood Grain Wonders DSP to an Early Espresso card base. Cut a panel of Basic White using the largest frame die from the Flourish & Frames Hot Foil Dies.

On the die cut frame, stamp the sentiment from Radiant Sunflowers stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the right side. Adhere the die cut, stamped panel to the card front.

Using the Radiant Sunflowers Dies, cut the sunflowers from a panel of Daffodil Delight, stem/leaves from a panel of Mossy Meadow, flower centers from a panel of Pecan Pie and the vase from a panel of Radiant Foil. Adhere the vase to the sentiment panel wit Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the stems inside the vase. Adhere the flower centers in the sunflowers with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere the sunflowers to the stems. Tie a small bow with a piece of Mossy Meadow Neutral Jute and adhere it to the vase with a Glue Dot. Add a few Radiant Gems to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment from Radiant Sunflowers stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on a panel of Basic White. Stamp the sunflower & leaf images from Radiant Sunflowers stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the corners of the panel. Color the images with Daffodil Delight, Mossy Meadow & Deep Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere the Basic Whtie panel to a Daffodil Delight mat then to the inside of the Early Espresso card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete the card. Stamp the sunflower and leaf images from the Radiant Sunflowers stamp set in Early Espresso Ink on the envelope front. Color the images with Daffodil Delight, Mossy Meadow and Deep Stampin’ Blends Markers. Adhere a panel of Wood Grain Wonders DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
