Hello Crafty Friends and Happy Monday! Before I continue with sharing my Card of the Day, I wanted to remind everyone of the Blog Hop that is active until Midnight EST on 14 July so hop along for your chance to win some holiday themed prizes. To find the hop, click HERE and you can also find the post in the sidebar to the right. Hope to see you there!
My card today features the Sunflower Smiles digital image by Star Stampz. I adore Sunflowers in the Summer and Fall. I used to grow mini sunflowers in whiskey barrell pots, placing them on my front porch. The minis are adorable, I need to grow some this Fall.
I colored the image with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers then trimmed the side with a My Favorite Things Stitched Scallop Basic Edge Die. I created a side panel by inking up a strip of card using Catherine Pooler ink as I didn't have colored card that shade of blue.
I cut a piece of craft foam slightly smaller that the focal panel and mounted all on a Neenah Solar White Classic Crest 110 lb. card base. I find myself using craft foam instead of foam tape of foam pads for dimension. I find it more economical and I can die cut it to match the shape of more intricate die cuts.
The sentiment was sent to me in a card swap and lastly, I added Wink of Stella Clear Sparkle on the Sunflowers and enamel dots for additional interest.
Thanks for stopping by and until next time, Happy Crafting!
Donna
