Super Sunflowers
My cards this week were made using the fabulous sunflower die that came with Issue 102 of Die-Cutting Essentials. I was particularly taken with the octagonal card on the front cover, made by Nicky Gilburt, editor of Creative Stamping.
First, I die-cut the sunflower and used it as a stencil to create the backgrounds.
Next, I stencilled again onto another piece of white card. Then I trimmed around the sunflower outline and glued it over the stencilled flower.
Using the nested notched octagon dies by Creative Craft Products, I die-cut the background panels, then a coloured layer. The card base was a 7” square card blank that I simply die-cut.
The sunflower toppers were fussy-cut and then mounted on a coloured rectangle to match the coloured layer. This was then adhered to a white rectangle.
The cards were finished by attaching the sunflower topper using foam tape, adding a sentiment and embellished with some enamel dots.
