Guest Designer Spotlight: Cherry Blossoms Cards with Dana Kirby

Hi friends! It's Dana here today and I am so excited to be a guest designer for Sunny Studio Stamps. The New Spring Release is packed full of so many amazing new products. There is so much to love and something for everyone. I have two cards to share today that use the gorgeous new Cherry Blossoms set. 

For my first card, I started by die cutting all of my floral images with the Cherry Blossoms die set. I then used my stamping tool and the Cherry Blossoms stamp set to do all of my stamping. Each layer has an alphanumeric marking to help guide your stamping.  Once I had everything lined up it was easy to stamp multiples. With my flowers, I didn't stamp the "a" layer. This allowed my florals to have a little white showing through and my colors to be a little softer. 

For my card panel, I trimmed down a piece of pattern paper from the Polka Dot Parade paper pack and attached it to an A2 card base. I then stamped my sentiment (also from the Cherry Blossoms stamp set) onto a die cut circle and attached it to the middle of my panel. Lastly, I attached my florals and added a few clear sequins to finish my card.

For my second card, I once again used the Cherry Blossoms stamp and die set to stamp all of my floral images. Next, I used the Out on a Limb die to create my branch. I attached the branch to the center of a panel that had been ink blended with a soft aqua ink. I then attached the florals to the branch and tucked in a few leaves.

To finish my card I added my sentiment and a few birds from the Little Birdie stamp set. I think these little birds are so sweet and I love how they coordinate with the flowers.

Thanks for joining me today and I hope you enjoyed my cards. Also, thank you Sunny Studio for asking me to be a guest!! It was truly an honor and I appreciate the opportunity.
