Celebrate Summer & Sunflowers

I saw a card on Instagram @NorineHope and immediately wanted to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) it using Stampin’ Up! products.

Using (retired) Neutrals DSP I covered my Thick Whisper White card base using the polka dot DSP and then cut a 2″ x 4 1/4″ piece of the stripe DSP. Note that the stripes on the DSP were diagonal so I cut it to achieve the horizontal stripe. 

Then I began making the sunflower.

The base of the sunflower was stamped in Bumblebee ink onto Bumblebee card stock using the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set. The outline was then die cut in Daffodil Delight card stock and t adhered using liquid glue. 

The leaves were stamped in Mossy Meadow ink onto Granny Apple Green card stock. One leaf was stamped in Granny Apple Green onto (retired) Lemon Lime Twist card stock. Then the outline was die cut using the Sunflowers Dies in Mossy Meadow card stock and adhered with liquid glue. 

The sunflower was mounted to the card using Stampin Dimensionals to allow the leaves to be tucked underneath. Keep your dimensionals toward the center of the follow to allow you to tuck them under easily.

The center of the sunflower was painted with a generous application of clear Wink of Stella. Once it dried I added tiny drops of Nuvo Drops. This adds beautiful texture to the sunflower.

A bow of Gold cording from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack was added along with a few Wonderful Gems (Holiday Mini Catalog).

I had so much fun that I created a second oversized card 4 1/4″ x 6 1/2″. 

The products used can be purchased here at my online store.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Cheers!
