Handpicked For You

 


Hello! Thank you for visiting my blog today. I am guest designing for the latest Color Throwdown card challenge. For my card I started by layering some olive green cardstock onto my white A2 card base. I then layered some olive green gingham patterned paper from Paper Studios on top. I die cut a scalloped edge rectangle panel using a Gina Marie Designs die, and stamped the sentiment from Stampendous True Friens on the lower right corner using Versafine onyx black ink. I then stamped the sunflower image and some leaves from Honey Bee Stamp's Sweet Sunflowers stamp set using Memento tuxedo black ink and some white Copic-friendly cardstock. I colored the images using greens, oranges, and browns from my alcohol markers. I then fussy cut the images out and mounted them onto the card panel to frame the sentiment. I popped the whole panel up off of the card using 3M foam tape. My granddaughter absolutely loves sunflowers, so I suspect this will go to her for her upcoming birthday in September.
