Sunflower Card

I thought I would share this card with you. It is not Christmas (thought you would need a break...LOL).

The card base is ivory and the embossed mat is canyon brown cover by Neenah (Kelly Paper).  This is actually 2 sunflowers. The top one is attached using mounting tape.


The center of my flower:
1. I cut out the center from the 2nd flower.
2. I painted it with thick glue.
3. I adhered gold micro beads, let it dry and then attached to the center of my flower.


Close Up!

The sunflower image came from a computer image that I printed and cut out. I printed and cut two flowers, layering one on top of the other. Before layering:
1. I took a Versamark pen and gold embossed all the petals.
2. I used different colors of embossing powder on the various petals of the second flower, "coloring" it.
The colors I used were lapis blue, silver, pale gold and Worn Lipstick (distress EP).

These leaves are from a package of leaves I've had hanging around for quite a while.  They have wire stems which is nice. it makes it easy to mold them.

I hope that you enjoyed the card!

Christmas Cards - Christmas Bell

Hi everyone! Welcome to my Christmas Card season!  I look forward to each Christmas season when I get to make Christmas cards!  I love making and sending them to my loved ones.  I hope that these cards bring you inspiration to try a few of your own!

Today's card is called Christmas Bell and is made with Bo Bunny Papers from their 2011 Father Christmas line.

I really love this bell.  It looks so three-dimensional.  I added a jewel over the clapper and some pearls.  A pretty dark green bow and done. 


The card base is red and the mat is a rich brown.



Close Up!

This is a close up of one of the K & Company stickers I am using with my cards this year.


I added white pearls over top of the berries.  I thought this gave a nice 3-d touch to my card.


Thanks for stopping by. Come back again for more Christmas Cards!
