Sunflower Floral Frame

 


Recently I was a featured creator at Scrapping4fun Challenges with a birthday card I made. 


I am delighted to be a guest designer for the new challenge 199 which starts today. 

The theme for this challenge is to use more than 2 Layers. I am not known for having a CAS style so layers is definitely fine by me :)


My card has been made using one of my all time favourite sunflower images Floral Frame 8 by Floppy Latter Designs (store now retired)

It has been coloured with Promarkers and a second layer of the flowers has been decoupaged with accent beads embedded in Glossy Accents in the centre. There is so much texture in the flower centres and I love using this technique for sunflowers especially. 

I had been going through my Happy Birthday sentiments and had found this large one from Craftwork Cards so the rest of the card was built around it.

I have used an 8' scalloped edge card base. The brown paper is from a HOTP earthtones pad and the yellow stripe is from the Tim Coffey daisy collection at K & Co. I fell in love with this range many years ago and find it very hard to actually USE it. I have the most gorgeous glittered daisy vellum I simply cannot cut into ( I know many of you have papers in your collection the same.....)

I recently bought a big ball of jute string for in the garden so used some to add a little bow and some more texture. I really like how this card turned out. It has an Autumn feel to it and that is my fave season plus beautiful bold Happy Flowers (mine have still not opened up yet!)

  5. Always love Sunflowers Mandy and this is a really prettily presented image and nicely finished with the jute bow, like you I often find useful bits and pieces from the garden and greenhouse to use on cards.

    Many thanks for joining in with our August theme at Stamping Sensations challenge.
