Happy Saturday! It’s time for the Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop! This week the Design Team is featuring Monochromatic Cards…using only one color plus a neutral! Hmmm, that is a challenge!
CELEBRATE SUNFLOWERS
But then I thought that Sunflowers can be only one color…so pulled out my Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set to make this SIMPLE card!
Stampin’ Details Card #1:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Bumblebee cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 2-1/4 x 5-1/2 piece of In Color 6×6 DSP was added to a 2-1/2 x 5-1/2 piece of Whisper White cardstock, then adhered to the front.
- The 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 piece of Whisper White cardstock was stamped with the large sunflower from Celebrate Sunflowers with Bumblebee Ink. It was sponged around all the edges and in the center of the flower.
- The greeting from Celebrate Sunflowers was stamped with Memento Black Ink across the bottom of the flower.
- This piece was layered on a 3-3/4 x 3-3/4 piece of Whisper White cardstock, then popped up on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- A gold Holiday Rhinestone was added to the center.
I liked this layout so well, I decided to use Celebrate Sunflower greeting with the Sunflower Dies to make the exact same card, but with dies!
Stampin’ Details Card #2:
- The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Bumblebee cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
- A 2-1/4 x 5-1/2 piece of In Color 6×6 DSP was added to a 2-1/2 x 5-1/2 piece of Whisper White cardstock, then adhered to the front.
- The sunflower background was cut with the Sunflower Die from a 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 piece of Bumblebee cardstock.
- The detailed sunflower was cut with the Sunflower Die from a 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 piece of Vellum Cardstock and adhered together with Tombow Multipurpose Glue in the center portion only.
- The sunflower was added with Stampin’ Dimensionals to a 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 piece of Whisper White and popped up on the front of the card with more Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- The center was cut with the Sunflower Die from Bumblebee cardstock and added with Stampin’ Dimensionals, too.
- Celebrate You was stamped with Memento Black Ink on scrap Whisper White cardstock, then hand-cut an added with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to the flower.
- A trio of gold Holiday Rhinestones were added to the background.
