You can never have enough sunflowers! Check out these stunning paper florals for your next handmade Autumn card project.
The fall colors that are showing up daily has us in the mood for another autumn card. Today, Julie is using a new wooden barrel die along with 2 different sunflower dies. When you cut them out in your choice of colors then mix & match them you get an Instant autumn sunflower bouquet! What is even better, is how realistic Julie made her barrel, which is from our new “Wooden Crate and Barrel” die set. Her coloring really makes it pop. Follow along as she shows us how to make a realistic barrel of Autumn sunflowers.
- The big sunflower die set was cut several times out of 3 different yellows, a little dk brown, dk rust & some green for the leaves.
- I did the same for the little sunflowers.
- After die cutting the wooden barrel out of Kraft, I used a blending brush & some cinnamon ink to add some color to it. I also rubbed the ink pad over the high parts for more depth.
- I used a dk gray ink for the edges of the metal bands before attaching them.
- The edges of the sunflowers were inked w/ a little pumpkin & autumn inks.
- Then it was just a matter of arranging all the sunflowers in the barrel. It’s backed w/ a piece of scenic design paper.
OOOO this is so pretty! The mix of large and small sunflowers really adds so much to this card project!
