Hello! Hope you are having a good week. It is very wet and soggy here in my corner of the Pacific Northwest. I'm popping in with a card that I made using a newly released die set from Becca Feeken and Spellbinders called Sweet Sayings Notecard Sentiments. These dies are part of her Sweet Serenade Notecards collection. I used the colors from Sunday Stamps and the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches for my card.
I stamped the sunflower image from the Spellbinders Hello Sunflower stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then colored with Copic markers. After I finished coloring the image I die cut it using the scalloped circle die from the Jingle Word Frame die set. I found patterned paper in this gradient green and die cut it, as well as the light gray cardstock with dies from the Essentials Rectangle die set. I die cut the Hello from the Sweet Sayings Notecard Sentiments from heavy weight vellum three times and adhered them together. I cut a strip of the same heavy weight vellum to use for the strip element in the sketch. I then layered up all the elements according to the sketch. A simple, uncomplicated card.
What a lovely card using colors inspired by the fall season. I love the gradient green background and the sunflower is a bright and sunny focal point. Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches!
