How about a fall-ish card? Not because it's feeling like fall yet,, although the leaves are showing a little red (probably due to stress from 4 inches of rain one week, then none for a couple weeks).
I started by grabbing some snippets in green and yellow, as well as white to stamp on. (see photo on left; I pulled a couple of shades of each color so I could choose what to work with.) The sunflowers are from Clearly Besotted, with the flowers stamped in Chalk inks and the leaves in dye ink. The sentiment uses the same ink as the center of the sunflower.
The green layer is embossed with a leafy folder, and the yellow layer is stamped with a background pattern stamp in the same yellow ink used for the sunflower. Added a fall-ish ribbon and sentiment to finish it off.

ReplyDeleteA lovely card - it's sunflower season here in the UK. Such happy flowers - I love that their faces literally follow the movement of the sun each day.
