Brighten Someone’s Day with Radiant Sunflowers Video

Are you ready to send some warm, autumn sunshine Today, I’m sharing a gorgeous card featuring the stunning Radiant Sunflowers Bundle from the brand-new September catalog. This bundle is an absolute must-have for the season.

For this card, I paired the rich, warm tones of Very Vanilla, Golden Glow, and Lost Lagoon cardstocks. To give the background that jaw-dropping dimension, I ran the Golden Glow panels through the Sunflower Embossing Folder. Cutting them into strips creates a beautiful, modern “paneling” effect.

I stamped the sunflower image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, since Stampin’ Up! no longer carries this product line, feel free to use any alcohol marker friendly black ink in your stash. I used Pecan Pie, Daffodil Delight and Lost Lagoon Stampin’ Blends alcohol markers to give the petals and leaf rich, seamless shading. The “Hello, friend” was stamped with Lost Lagoon ink. I embellished with some Earthy Matte Dots. These were recently on the Last Chance List and have since sold out. If you see an item you want on the Last Chance List, grab it before it’s gone!
