Hi everyone. Today I'm sharing a card inspired by a few challenges. This time I wanted to celebrate the upcoming Fall season with sunflowers.
I stamped these lovely sunflowers (Pop Sunflowers - Stampendous) in black ink and clear heat embossed before watercolouring with distress inks. I die-cut an oval from an older die set that I rarely use, and dry embossed the oval using a new-to-me embossing folder (Mason Wall - Altenew).
This layout and design is curtesy of Ceal, following the challenge at AAA Birthday to CASE one of Ceal's beautiful cards (see photo below). Thank so much for the inspiration Ceal!!
