Hey, everyone!!! How is your Tuesday going? I have been substitute teaching and I went in again today. I've been spending lots of time with junior high kids and really enjoying it!!!
I am excited about today's card. I am excited because I work for a very talented artist and love using her svg files. I had asked Dina from Treasure Box Designs to make a sunflower file and she blew me away with this one. Thank you, Dina!!! It is not in the store yet (this is a sneak peek), but be watching for it real soon!
Isn't it pretty!!! It is not in the store yet, but be looking for it soon.
I started with a A2 card base and used a patterned paper from Simple Stories' Harvest Lane collection for the background. I pieced together the sunflower using a nice honey colored cardstock and inked it with Memento Ink's Potter Clay. It is one of my all time favorite ink colors especially for fall projects. For the banner, I used a die from My Craft Spot (no longer in business) and stamped it with a sentiment from Jaded Blossom's Simple Saying set. I was having trouble stamping today and just couldn't decide on a color or sentiment. The problem was mostly that I couldn't get an even amount of color on any stamp I chose, so I know it was user error. I went through four banners before deciding this one would work and using it. I will probably do it again later and replace the one that is on there. One of these days, I am going to get a Misti tool to help me with my stamping woes.
When I was putting together my sunflower I wanted lots of dimension; so I added foam tape between each layer of the flower and then I used another strip to adhere it to my card.
So very glad you stopped by today. Loved having you here!!!
Blessings,
