Sunflowers Galore

Good Morning everyone.

Today is a batch of cards using my first creative expressions paper cuts die - sunflower edger - I LOVE it!  Im also on a mission this year to use up some of the tonne of coloured cardstock ive amassed over the years as since making my own backgrounds i don't tend to use it - i also think its been breeding in the dark of the cupboard😁

6x6" Kraft card after folding my kraft card i die cut the sunflowers from the front edge.  I added starlight paints to the sunflower details so they shimmer.  For this card i decided to use it landscape although i know its supposed to be portrait. I added a yellow insert which protects the fine edge of the sunflower and lets the card stand up.  I stamped the sentiment on an offcut of kraft card and layered onto an offcut of the yellow paper i used for the insert and attached. Glitter dots to embellish and some stamped bees. 

Showing it front on

and onto different colour combos

Version 2 made the same way but portrait with a soft gold pearl cardstock and purple paper insert. Green glitter glue to the flower centres and a butterfly to finish.  The clearly besotted sentiment stamps i had fit perfectly into the middle of some simon says stamps sentiments i had - using a stamp platform i could line them up together easily, die cut into a circle to finish.

Soft gold pearl cardstock, i added a little colour to the sunflowers with oxide inks.  Pink gloss drops to embellish and a little stamped bee

Another landscape version with bright gold pearl cardstock and a black insert

Ivory pearl cardstock, i added colour to the flowers with oxide inks - yep now we have purple/pink sunflowers😁  Big gems added to the centres.
