Sunflowers

Hi Crafty Friends,
I LOVE Sunflowers in the fall and Brass & Bliss 5726-02D Large Sunflower Die makes GORGEOUS Sunflowers, so I covered my card in them.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:

A: Me? No, but my neighbors have them for me to admire

Step #1: I started my card by using Brass & Bliss Color Fuse #1 in Autumn and Custard Inks with Brass & Bliss Large Blending Brushes to stencil a stunning background with Brass & Bliss 4212 Fan Leaves Stencil.

Step #2: I die cut my stenciled background using Brass & Bliss 5013D Nested Rectangle Small Stitch Die Set.

Step #3: I die cut five Brass & Bliss 5726-02D Large Sunflowers and arranged them on my background then snipped the parts that were hanging off the edge. Then I added the Brass & Bliss 5406-04D Friends Script with Shadow die to the center and stamped "You're the Best" from Brass & Bliss 3327 Kittie Says Friends Stamp Set.
