Basic White card – 6½” by 4½”
Frame – 7” by 5”

 

Using a 2½” Circle Punch from my stash I punched a mask from a Post It Note. I placed the mask on the Basic White panel, slightly above the middle.

I used a Blending Brush to add Pool Party ink to the entire panel with the mask in position. Next, I added Summer Splash ink to the top and bottom of the panel leaving a rim around the mask and a strip of plain Pool Party across the masked area from the middle to near the bottom of the mask.

Azure Afternoon ink was then added, again leaving some of the Pool Party and Summer Splash ink visible and finished with a covering of Night of Navy ink concentrating in all four corners, along the top and the bottom. The mask was then removed.

A piece of Post It note was then placed about ⅓ of the way up the moon from the bottom. A second Post It note was then torn into a jagged pattern before being applied to the top ⅓ of the moon. I used Gorgeous Grape ink and a Blending Brush to create mountains in the gap between the Post It notes. The jagged mask was then removed.

With the straight Post It note still in position I stamped a tree onto the inked panel with the bottom of the tree on the mask. I repeated this step to add the remaining trees before removing the Post It note.

I placed a piece of cellophane over the stamped trees with a sliver of the bottom showing. I inked up the trees again, stamped off on scrap paper and stamped a tree below and at the same approximate height as the full-strength tree above to provide a reflection. The cellophane was then removed.

I lightly added a little Pool Party ink to the ‘moon’ to make it less blindingly white and stamped the dotty image from the Coneflower Celebration stamp set with Whisper White ink to add stars to the sky. A white gel pen added texture to the wate.

The picture was now complete and ready to be framed, or it could be trimmed down and made into a card.

A pretty note card made using the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder and the Beautiful Motifs stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Darling Sunflower card

I have used the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder to make a striking ‘just a note card’.

Colours used in this card are:

 

To recreate the darling sunflower card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Secret Sea card – 5¼” by 3½”
Scrap Basic White & Early Espresso card

 

Using the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder I embossed the panel of Basic White card.

I repeatedly dragged a Darling Duckling ink pad over the embossed side of the Basic White panel and used Sponge Dauber to add Early Espresso ink to the flower centres.

The embossed layer was added to the Early Espresso panel and a length of White Ribbon was wrapped around. The whole piece was glued to the Thick Basic White card front.

The sentiment, from the Beautiful Motifs stamp set was stamped In Early Espresso ink onto scrap Basic White card and die cut using the Stylish Shapes dies. I die cut a second label, cut it from side to side and added the pieces to the back of the sentiment. I added it to the card front on Dimensionals.
