Vicki has a lovely mood board for us this week at Just Us Girls.
I couldn't resist that beautiful sunflower, especially since I had recently purchased one from Altenew.
It comes with a stencil that was used with Altenew Pastel Sunrise, Canyon Clay, Frayed Leaf and Forest Glades ink. The sentiment is from EbyE.
I made a different card first using the second layer of the stencil. I don't often like the way the second layer looks and choose to shade the flowers myself like the one above.
This sunflower was die cut, added to some DSP from Honey Bee and run through their burlap embossing folder. This sentiment is part of the Dancing Sunflowers set. Totally different look.

Both of these cards are so pretty Bobby! I love the simplicity of the first card and your coloring is beautiful! The flower on the 2nd card with the dsp and embossing folder is just as pretty...I love them both!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteBobby... I like your fun, new sunflower... and your coloring is beautiful. I opt for the first one too!
ReplyDeleteBobby, I believe you did a better job of shading that Sunflower than the stencil made for it! GORGEOUS colors - there you go again finding the prettiest 'unusual' colors for flowers! [like those orange Poinsettias!]
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous in a CAS design, probably my favorite - but I do love that burlap texture, too!

Two very different looks, Bobby! The layers are subtle and beautiful on both! Love the texture on the second!
ReplyDeleteYour flower is soft and pretty and obviously inspired by the (?) in the photo. I absolutely LOVE that burlap version too! Great cards!
ReplyDeleteThe first card is so beautiful in peach but the second card blew me away. It looks like you actually used burlap!! Wow!
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards. I really like the firs one that you colored yourself. Love the soft colors you used for the pretty sunflower.
ReplyDeleteSweet! I love the peachy tones of the first card and offset by white, it really stands out! The second is interesting in that between the bg paper and embossing, it almost looks like your flower is placed on a linen placement. Great choice of paper
ReplyDeleteBoth beautiful ways to use that sunflower, Bobby. I love the colors you chose. Beautiful take on the moodboard.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous flower. That 2nd card is awesome with the faux texture 😊
ReplyDelete2 pretty cards and I like the stencil work.
