Celebrate Sunflowers
July 12, 2020
The first time I looked through the Stampin' Up!® 2020-21 Annual Catalog I marked the sample on page 13 (thanks a bunch). Yesterday when I sat down to stamp I remembered that sample and decided to use that sample as inspiration.
The large sunflower was stamped using Whisper White Craft ink. The images were colored using Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight Watercolor Pencils . I stamped all the flowers first and then colored the flowers. The ink was pretty dry by the time I started coloring them with the pencils.
I inked up only part of the sentiment (left out the "you") in Tuxedo Black Memento ink and then cut it out using a Stitched Rectangle die. I wanted to use the Bumblebee Gingham ribbon so I used Bumblebee cardstock for the label and the layer. When I had everything layered up I felt like it was missing something so I stamped a few speckles using the stamp from the Forever Fern set using the White Craft pad. The speckle stamp reminds me of a stamp set that we had a long time ago, Itty Bitty Backgrounds(I am pretty sure that is the name). I never purchased it. One day I had a bunch of demonstrators over to stamp and they were shocked that I didn't have it. They said I wasn't a real stamper until I owned the set, so they bought it for me! I remember that after that I used that stamp a lot and so I guess they were right.

I decided to try another color combination. This one is Gorgeous Grape and Balmy Blue watercolor pencils from the Watercolor Pencils Asst 2. I love how this one turned out. The sentiment was stamped in White Craft ink on Gorgeous Grape cardstock and cut using the Stitched Rectangle dies.
I didn't have any ribbon that would work so I colored the White Faux Linen Ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack with the Dark Highland Heather Stampin' Blends. I probably colored over the ribbon a couple of times.
