Some recently received Happy Mail included a selection of die cuts which have found their way into my 'pot of useful bits' but I couldn't resist colouring this stamped and die cut sunflower and leaves. I then decided to make a relatively CAS card using a slatted hexagon die which I've cut into a square card panel and backed with some yellow printed paper from my oddments collection. The bee was die cut using some dark brown and gold card and the small sentiment stamped and also die cut.
Updated information - I'm reliably informed that this is, in fact, not a sunflower but a gerbera from Uniko Pure Flowers collection - gerbera stamp and die set 😉
Hexagon die - from Craft Addiction UK
Sunflower - gifted to me already stamped and die cut
Colouring - Polychromos pencils
Bee and Sentiment - dies and stamp (sentiment) also from CAUK
Printed background paper - from an old Papermania pad
That’s a lovely summertime card Val. Love all the elements you e brought together. Xxx

Stunning card, I thought it was a sunflower too!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous summery card Val, beautiful composition. Must confess I have those hexagon dies and have never used them yet! Xx PS your card is perfect forcEllue’s “I Spy” challenge - sunflowers or something yellow! Xx
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty and putting the paper behind the slats is very effective at giving a subtle hint of colour.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful summery card, Val. Sunflowers and Gerberas are part of the same family.... Asteraceae. When I first saw you card I thought it was a sunflower, but it's close enough. 😉
