Sunflower Birthday

Hello, Gemma here today with a card featuring the sunflower dies from the new Fall Mug Additions and Fall Cornucopia die sets. As the sunflowers in these sets are different sizes, they work really well together.

For both sizes of sunflower, I die cut two layers for the petals, from different yellow card pieces. I die cut the centres from pearl brown sparkle card, then adhered the pieces together with liquid glue.

I die cut leaves from two different green card pieces, using a die in the Fall Mug Additions die set.

Next, I die cut two Stitched Strips in dark blue and yellow. I took a panel of striped blue patterned paper, cut to 5.25 x 2.75”. I adhered the sunflowers and leaves, cutting away any overhanging pieces. I then adhered the patterned paper and stitched strips to a 5.25” square card base.

For the sentiment, I stamped the word ‘wishes’ from the Birthday Scripts stamp set, using faded jeans distress oxide ink. I covered the ink with WOW Neutral Ultra Shimmer embossing powder, then heat embossed the word. I die cut it with the coordinating die, and added two extra layers behind for dimension.

I stamped another sentiment from the Birthday Scripts stamp set on the card base, then added the embossed die cut word underneath to finish.

Thanks so much for joining me today! I hope this card inspired you.
