Sunflower Fields Fall Card Set with Mendi

Hello and welcome! This is Mendi here today, popping in to share some floral cards for Autumn using our beautiful Sunflower Fields Stamps.

First, I have a card with a wood embossed background using our Woodgrain Embossing Folder. I started by running the folder through my die-cutting machine with a piece of aqua-blue cardstock, and then I ran over the surface with two different distress crayons and used a damp cloth to blend them and buff out the waxy spots. These crayons came from Ranger's holiday sets #4 and #5 in Shiny Bauble and Juniper Berry, so they were special seasonal pearlescent colors with flecks of sparkly mica that give my background a beautiful glimmer in person. I used the layered images from our Sunflower Fields Stamps for the focal point for flowers and bees. I completed my card by stamping the word "hi" from our Hawaiian Hibiscus Stamps on a small tag from our Window Quad Square Dies, cutting off its top to make it look like a stitched pennant strip.

For my second card featuring the Sunflower Fields Stamps, I created a floral bouquet, adding another tag from the Window Quad Square Dies cut from kraft cardstock and stamped with the phrase "many thanks" from the same stamp set. For my background, I stamped the tone-on-tone diagonal mesh print from our Background Basics 2 Stamps, trimming off about 1/8" along the bottom so my white card base could peek out and provide a bit of contrast, visual interest, and balance with the top-heavy feeling of my flower bouquet. Lastly, I added a jute cording bow on the top of my tag to make it look tied around the bouquet.

I am frequently asked which ink colors I used for my layered images. While I think there are so many great options out there, these are the colors I used today for my sunflowers from light to dark:

Sunflower Petals
PinkFresh Lemon Whip
PinkFresh Sunshine

PinkFresh Sweet Mustard 

PinkFresh Marigold

Sunflower Seeds Center
PinkFresh Doe
Versafine Clair Acorn

Leaves 

PinkFresh Grassy Knoll
PinkFresh Key Lime
PinkFresh Studio Olive
PinkFresh Studio Evergreen

That wraps up my projects for today. I hope I've inspired you in your own cardmaking and that you spread a little happiness by sending out a card to a loved one today.💛
