PFS Golden Sunflower

Who doesn’t love a good sunflower stamp? Here is a new Lemon Queen Sunflower (this and all following links are affiliate links) from Picket Fence Studios. I’ve stamped it in pale ink and coloured it up in a no-line version. The lined version has very prominent lines and a dark centre, so it should be fairly easy to colour up. I’ve coloured it up with Copics and then used some coloured pencils of the top.

Once again I’ve played with inks. This time I did it on the card base with three different shades of yellow. I wanted it to be subtle, yet interesting, instead of having it in a plain yellow colour. To make it fairly visible I’ve used one of the rectangles in the Double Stitched Rectangle dies set to cut out the coloured panel. I wanted to show a fair bit of the background without cutting off too much of the flower at the same time.

I’ve stamped on a sentiment from the Fancy Congratulaions set and then put on some sequins from the Candy Corn sequin mix.

We’ll have a close-up look at it as well.

EM Sending Love

Making sunflower cards as a symbol against the ongoing war made some very talented artists offer free stamps to colour up. This is one of those stamps and it’s by Emily Midgett. I coloured it up in no-lines and simply stamped a black sentiment over the top. The sentiment is by LDRS Creative. I do like keeping things simple. 🙂

LH Dragon with Flowers

Don’t you just love it when, after colouring up an image, you realise you have the perfect sentiment?

That is what happened to me while making this card! First I coloured up this adorable dragon by Lee Holland, and after I had decided on the layout and die cut the coloured panel I remembered a stamp set I had bought recently and hoped it had a fitting sentiment. It definitely did!

The sentiment is from the huge sunflower stamp by Simon Says Stamp.

A bit of pencil colouring on kraft again for today’s card. I’ve used a Power Poppy sunflower stamp and coloured it in with my Prismacolor Premier pencils. I cut the panel into a square before putting it on my usual sized cardbase. An embossed sentiment on matching orange cardstock and some yellow enamel dots finished off the look this time.

Thankful for you

There’s no secret that turquoise is my favourite colour. For my birthday this year I got a gift certificate for stamps at Power Poppy and I bought loads! These sunflowers in a vase is one of them. Isn’t it pretty? I layered it on the side of the panel and printed on a part of it. I think it looks pretty good on the side like this. I used a sentiment stamp from a collaboration set made by Hero Arts and Gina K Design and inked it up with ink from Altenew. The enamel dots are also from Altenew, whereas the cardstock is by MFT Stamps.
