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.
