Hello friends. I am sharing a birthday card I made using the colors at the current Color Hues Challenge of Kraft & Yellow.
I die cut the flowers from a lt. yellow (Recollections) using an older MFT Sunflower die set. I cut 6 layers of the smaller flower in the set and layered 2 each for my sunflowers. I shaped them with my stylus to give a little dimension. The centers are cut from SU Crumb Cake (kraft), as are the leaves, which are from a Spellbinders die set. I added the veins to the leaves with a dk. brown marker and also shaped them with my fingers before gluing under the flowers. The white background is embossed with SU Dainty Diamonds EF (retired). The sentiment panel and mat are cut with SU Countryside Corners dies. I trimmed the kraft mat down a little before adding to the card with foam tape. The sunflowers are also mounted with foam tape. The sentiment is from SU Happy Thoughts (retired).
I will also link this to Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes With Dies
Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.
It occurred to me recently that I own no sunflower dies and only one sunflower stamp. Your lovely card inspires me to add one (or more) the next time I'm placing an order. Your sunflowers are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues!
