Looking for layers of paper sunshine? This Sunflower scalloped card is full of splendor and sweet details that are sure to inspire.
Todays beautiful fall card is from our designer, Christine who said, “This oversized Happy, Sunflower-in-a-Barrel brings cheeriness, coziness, and “The Splendor of Autumn” to it’s recipient.” We agree! This 5×7 is a quick card utilizing die cutting and die embossing to achieve depth and dimension. A bit of marker use, sewing, and ink blending, add rich tones for an even more dimensional feel, without the bulk. A simple frayed bow adds to the vintage charm. Follow along to see a quick creation that makes a beginner feel like an expert….letting the dies, cardstock color choices, and a bit of inky-finger techniques do the heavy lifting. A bit of a step away from traditional Autumn colors, but a fresh take to “fall” in love with!
- Follow along with photos to die cut the pieces and assemble. I find the product packaging to be an excellent guide.
- The Rippling Waves Cover die is EMBOSSED not Cut from the soft pink cardstock.
- The sign is made by first stamping the sentiment. Cutting out the sentiment into a rectangle “sign” shape. Add thin black pen, pencil and marker lines to create a wood texture. “Nails” in 4 corners are die cut from same matte black cardstock as the barrel nails.
- Sewing is of course, optional. Adds a rustic charm. The bow is tied around entire card front, but fishtail, then barrel is place over top.
- Pink cardstock scallop (card background) is using the largest size die from the set.
- Using smallest of Nested Small Stitch Circle dies create from the rust cardstock an additional flower center. I sanded it and ink blended edges.
