Celebrate Sunflowers

I received my 2020-2021 Annual Catalog Pre-order and was excited to ink it up. I decided to participate in two challenges as my inspiration.

The Spot Creative Challenge is a color challenge this week.

And the Global Design Project #242 is a sketch challenge.

I used Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie and Granny Apple Green as my color palette for the project. Stampin’ Blends were used to color the sunflower and leaves. I bit of Wink of Stella was used on the petals of the sunflower which sparkles in the sun. The flower was cut out with the coordinating die and popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals for more visual interest.

Retired Cotton Ribbon in Pumpkin Pie was wrapped around the White card stock and tied in a bow for a pop of color. Then a few sequins were added as the finishing touch.

The sentiment was created using Spellbinders Hot Foil System and Everyday Sentiments II hot foil plates. Then I cut it out with SU Stitched Rectangle Dies. I LOVE these dies. The hot foiling is stunning.

And we can’t forget the inside of the card!

I hope everyone is well enjoying the onset of summer across the country.

Thanks for stopping by!
