Golden Glittery Sunflowers Card

 

Anytime you add glitter to a project the result is extraordinary, especially if you it comes out so good that you can gift share it with someone. Here we make a card using a couple of our sunflowers stamps. We also add glitter to the center of the flower to create a card that will make them go 'wow'.

Materials used in this project:

Sunflowers Background Rubber Stamp (stamp 2x) onto white card stock

Large Sunflower Rubber Stamp

Yellow card stock

Orange card stock

White card stock

Ribbon

First, take the Large Sunflower Rubber Stamp and stamp it in black ink onto white card stock. Color it in and trim it out with scissors around the design. You can also color in the white trimmed area. I used green to color around the outside of the petals.

Once cut out, add a generous amount of clear glue to the center of the flower. Then sprinkle glitter onto the glue. Set it aside to dry. You can now work on the sunflowers background part.

Next, take the Sunflowers Background Rubber Stamp and stamp it 2x onto white card stock. This background stamp measures 3 inches by 4 inches and is perfect to create this 5x7 card.

You can use a stamping platform like I did to get the designs very close. Hint: before you stamp, trim the excess rubber on each side of the stamp so your alignment is easy.

You can also simply use an acrylic block by hand. Our Large Deluxe Acrylic Stamping Block was designed to fit these background sized stamps. And you can use the same block for the Large Sunflower Rubber Stamp as well!

It's okay if you miss the alignment because we will cover the meeting place with a ribbon or paper strip.

Assemble the mat layers of your card and add the center sunflower. You have created a simple, yet cheery card. Sunflowers always brighten anyone's day!

New Coloring Booklet Casual Chic

We have a new digital download available: It is the  Casual Chic - Modern Fashion Plates Coloring Booklet   featuring 12 girls dressed in cute outfits along with accessories such as eyewear, hats, purses, and some even have a dog with them.  All of the girls measure over 6 inches in height and print onto 3 pages (landscape). The outfits are fun and unique. You will always be challenged to use various colors while practicing your shading and blending techniques. I had such a blast creating the examples for this project.   Tip: If you have not already, this is a good way to get to know what markers you have. There is a color swatch area to label and try out colors before committing onto a character, which is especially helpful for skin and hair. In my case, I got to know which skin tone markers I had. Between 2 sets of brush tip markers, I was able to create a variety of skin colors so that each girl did not look identical to the next. The best part is that you do...
