Sunflowers

Good Morning everyone

2 cards today using these lovely flower stamps from aall&create 'caffeinated' stamp set. I decided to stamp them in green and the card base is a lovely green too but looks dark in the photos. 

Card size approx 5x7"  I made my card base from a green card that matched the ink nicely and nested dies.  I die cut a smaller die from white cardstock and stamped the image in green.  I stencilled a background and then die cut this panel again with a smaller die to give me a frame, i attached the frame to the card front with foam tape and adhered the middle panel flat to the front - i do this quite a bit, its a good way to add some interest.

I stamped the flowers again onto white card, watercoloured with distress inks, cut out and decoupaged on top of the base image, touch of glitter glue added to the flower centre to finish. 


Version 2 using the other sunflower stamp in the set, made the same way just a different set of nesting dies and softer stencilling.  Size 6x6"

Items Used
aall&create stamps 'caffeinated' 
Funky fossil stencil 'umbrellas'
Crazy pathing stencil
XL nesting dies
Green & White cardstock
Distress Oxide inks - cracked pistachio, salty ocean, tumbled glass
Distress inks - Squeezed lemonade, wild honey, ripe persimmon, twisted citron,
