Looking for a bright and cheery card design for a friend? Check out this sunflower masterpiece!
Todays bright and happy design comes from our team member, Meghan, who says, “I LOVE Sunflowers in the fall and Brass & Bliss 5726-02D Large Sunflower Die makes GORGEOUS Sunflowers, so I covered my card in them.”. We really do love how sunny this card turned out and we just know that any friend would be so pleased to receive it! Follow along as Meghan shows us the steps for using sunflowers and stencils for the perfect friend card.
Step #1: I started my card by using Brass & Bliss Color Fuse #1 in Autumn and Custard Inks with Brass & Bliss Large Blending Brushes to stencil a stunning background with Brass & Bliss 4212 Fan Leaves Stencil.
Step #2: I die cut my stenciled background using Brass & Bliss 5013D Nested Rectangle Small Stitch Die Set.
Step #3: I die cut five Brass & Bliss 5726-02D Large Sunflowers and arranged them on my background then snipped the parts that were hanging off the edge. Then I added the Brass & Bliss 5406-04D Friends Script with Shadow die to the center and stamped “You’re the Best” from Brass & Bliss 3327 Kittie Says Friends Stamp Set.
Wow. We really do adore how that fan leaves stencil in the background really made those sunflowers pop. Having such big focal points adds so much character to your handmade card creation, and it’s fun to mix up shapes and sizes of your elements for more interest. We hope you love this project and plan to make a sunflower and stencil card of your own. Be sure to pin this project for later and follow us on Instagram for more fall inspiration.
