Sunflowers

Good Morning everyone

I hope you all had a good weekend, it is certainly feeling more autumnal, which i love.

Today im sharing a small batch of floral cards.  Using lovely aall&create stamps, ive coloured them to look more like sunflowers.  Ive used pearl cardstock with a hint of gold, which is lovely to colour onto and the shimmer still shines through.


Approx size .I used Crealies arch dies and white pearl to make my base card and a smaller frame.  I attached the frame to the base with foam tape.  On the die cut  piece from the middle of the frame i stamped the flowers and watercoloured around them with distress inks and then splashed on more of the same ink and i glued it into the middle of the frame.  I stamped the flowers again onto more of the pearl card and watercoloured with derwent inktense pencils, cut out, added some shape and decoupaged them onto the base image with glue gel.

I stamped a bee, cut out and added to the base.  Touches of glitter glue on the flower centre finish and yellow gems to finish.


Card 2 made the same way, just added a little bee

card 3 - I went with with an orange and green colour combo this time 

and card 4.  

Items Used:
aall&create stamps 'in the wild'
Pinkink bee stamp 'queen bee'
Crealies XXL nest dies - arch 
White gold pearl cardstock
Derwent inktense pencils
Distress inks 'tumbled glass' 'cracked pistachio'
Ranger stickles 'crystal' & 'diamond'

Thank you all for stopping by.  I hope you all have a great week. Hugs Emmax

They work very well as Sunflowers for me Emma and in fact I've done the same recently, they are lovely blooms that always bring a ray of sunshine even is it's raining as with this morning (not that I'm complaining, we need it).

Lovely to see you at We Love Stamping September challenge, many thanks for joining in.
