Sunflower card

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media.

I am happy to share another card here today. My card shows my love for sunflowers. A few days back, I shared a card where I used sunflower elements for a slimline card. Today, its a A2 card with a contrasting background where I used strips of black cardstock and made a background. I used digital image Sunflower from Power poppy. I used no-line image and used pencils to colour the image. I used alcohol markers and white gel pen to add some interest to the image. I have scrap piece of vellum and used it to the background as well. I finished the card with a sentiment.

Hello sunshine

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media.

I am back with another card and this time its a CAS card. I was having the floral sticker with me for a very long time and didn't know where to use it. I was working on another card and had some vellum leftover which I decided to use for the card base. First I wanted to have a die cut background but changed my mind to embossed background using an embossing folder. After embossing, I adhered to a white note card and the look of vellum embossed is so pretty. I added the sticker to the center of the card and a sentiment and small flowers to finish the card.

Hello there,

Welcome to my blog and follow my work on social media.

Lets start March with my favourite flower, sunflowers. Recently, in our building I saw a couple of sunflowers blooming and I immediately made a card. To make this card, I used Slimline cross strips die and Sunflower critter sheet from Die cuts and more. Its one of my favourite brands where they have beautiful dies - Indian theme and slimline dies are wonderful. In recent time, I have been quiet busy with so many things and didn't have the time to colour. In such cases, I prefer to use critter flowers to make cards. I die cut the slimline background using black cardstock and assembled them onto a vellum base. While die cutting, the V shaped pieces all fall apart but I stacked them up together. I added the critter flowers to the card base and added some small flowers and leaves as well and finished the card with a sentiment.
