Back in June, I joined a Sunflower ATC swap over at the Stamp Shack. Although I have a ton of Sunflower stamps, I wasn't quite sure how I was going to make mine. I hadn't given it much thought and it still seemed like a challenge to me since I'm rather new to the ATC scene. Overtime I forgot about--the due date isn't until mid-September, so I knew I had plenty of time to figure out what I wanted to make for this swap.
It wasn't until last week when I made this card, that everything fell into place & I inspired myself! Have you ever done that?
Here are the Sunny Sunflower ATC's that I worked on this past weekend for this swap.
I colored the image with Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol. Then I masked the sunflower and sponged blue ink around the flower petals, and stamped the sentiment at the top. Once I had it adhered to the yellow cardstock background I added my favorite Yellow Stickles to each petal to really make it "pop!"
Stamps: Sunflower by Kodomo Inc., sentiment by A Muse
Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, Colorbox Fluid Chalk Ink French Blue
Paper: Smooth white cardstock by Office Depot, Colored Cardstock by American Crafts
Accessories: Prismacolor Pencils, Gamsol, Yellow Stickles
Finished Card Size: 2.5" x 3.5"
Sunflowers are one of my favorite flowers, along with Gerbera Daisies, maybe because they are so similar in shape?? What's your favorite flower?
Smiles,
Jennifer
