Happiness Stems From Kindness

3/20/2020

0 Comments

 
Hello and TGIF, friends!  We've made it through the week (I'm one of the unfortunate ones still working) and I'm soooooo ready for the weekend!  Today I am excited to share a brand new stamp from the March Special Release at Whimsy Stamps.  This beautiful, large sunflower is a perfect addition to my collection and I couldn't be more pleased with how these two cards came out using alcohol inks, vellum and gold glitter accents.

*A full list of supplies is located at the end of this post.

This first A2 sized card was made from Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  I created the background using Valencia orange and Daffodil yellow alcohol inks on Kirkland glossy photo paper.  Once this alcohol ink dried, I adhered the background to the white card base.  I stamped the large sunflower in Versamark ink on vellum cardstock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  I fussy cut the sunflower and cut it in half.  I adhered both halves of the sunflower to the card (so it appears larger than the stamp really is).  On a 4 1/4" x 2" piece of white cardstock, I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder.  I adhered this sentiment to the middle of the card.  I punched out two leaves from gold glitter paper and tucked them behind the sunflower for added sparkle and dimension.

Here is the second card I created using the new Sunflower stamp:

The base of this A2 sized card is made from Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  I created the background using Valencia orange and Daffodil yellow alcohol inks on Kirkland glossy photo paper.  Once this alcohol ink dried, I adhered the background to the white card base.  I stamped the sunflower in Versamark ink on yellow cardstock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  I fussy cut the sunflower with scissors.  I also stamped the sunflower in Versamark ink on brown cardstock and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.  I fussy cut the center of the brown sunflower and adhered it to the center of the yellow sunflower for added dimension.  On a 4 1/4" x 2" piece of vellum, I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder.

I hope you have enjoyed today's cards.  I feel as though these are a bit out of my comfort zone, but I'm really liking them and want to embrace stepping outside of the box more often!

Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative weekend. 

XO, Crystal
