Sunflowers

Hi everyone.  Back with my third set from Stampendous (Pop Sunflower) that I recently bought.  I wanted to spread some sunshine and these images certainly do that. :)

I stamped the image in black ink onto mixed media paper and heat embossed in clear; flowers first, then masked the flowers and stamped the jar.  Watercoloured with distress inks and then fussy-cut the image.  This is another save card.  I had added a shadow to the bottom of the card and it got out of hand and ended up way too large, hence the fussy-cutting. :)

This time I placed the jar of flowers over some patterned summer paper, I {heart} Summer patterned paper - Simple Stories.  This is an old set of paper, which I thought would have been long retired, but apparently not. :)  I glued the jar flat to the paper and popped up the flowers with pop dots.

I added the sentiment "Sending Smiles & Sunshine" to the inside of the card along with two small, watercoloured sunflowers, all part of the same stamp set.

Close-up ...
Thanks for stopping by!

Edited to add:  Sending this to NBUS Challenge #27.

Love that patterned paper! We so rarely use it these days but it's great to see it when it does turn up! Beautiful jar of sunflowers - so cheerful and so perfect against the summer paper.

What a FABULOUS card Loll! Those sunflowers are so happy looking and just beautifully water colored too! Had to laugh about overdoing the shadow and ending up fussy cutting it out...glad I'm not the only one who over does and then has to fix!! But great job on the fussy cutting...it's perfect!! And I love the dsp you used for your background...totally fits with your happy jar of sunflowers!! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)

I love the sunflowers and that paper is great with those tiny hearts among the text. Adding the grounding is so hard for me so I had to laugh when yours got "out of hand".

Bobby said...

I don't envy the fussy cutting but those bright and beautiful flowers look fabulous on that patterned paper, Loll.
