Sunflower Birthday

Today I am sharing a fun fold sunflower birthday card made for my aunts 80^th birthday earlier this week.

To recreate the Sunflower Birthday card you will need:

Thick Whisper White – 11” by 4⅛” – scored at 5½” – rounded upper left corner
Early Espresso – 11” by 1¼” scored at 2¾”, 5½ & 8¼”
In Good Taste dsp – 5⅜ by 4” x 4
Old Olive – 4¾” by 3½” x 2
Old Olive – 3⅜” by 2½” x 4
Whisper White – 4½” by 3¼” x 2
Whisper White – 3⅛” by 2¼”

Front panel

Using the Detailed Trio Punch I rounded the upper left corner of one of the dsp panels and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

 

The large sunflowers from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set were stamped on one of the larger Whisper White panels in Early Espresso ink. The leaves were added in Old Olive ink. The images were coloured using the following Blends Markers – Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Crumb Cake & Seaside Spray.

The upper left corner of the stamped panel was rounded. Also one of the Old Olive panels and the two panels were  glued together with the liquid adhesive. The sentiment from the Peaceful Moments stamp set was stamped on scrap In Good Taste dsp in Versamark ink, covered with White Embossing Powder and heat set using the Heat Tool. I trimmed it out with Scissors and glued it to the card front.

1^St inside panel

I rounded the the upper right corner of another of the dsp panels and adhered it inside the card on the left. I adhered the first 2¾” panel of the Early Espresso strip to the inside front panel.

The smaller sunflower was stamped in Early Espresso ink and coloured using the following Blends Markers – Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Crumb Cake & Seaside Spray. The stamped panel was added to one of the small Old Olive layers and adhered to the 1¼” strip of Early Espresso.

2^nd inside panel

The sunflowers from the Jar of Flowers stamp set was stamped in Early Espresso ink. I placed a mask over the bottom of the flowers and stamped the outline of the small jar in Early Espresso ink and the inside was added using the reverse of the stamp in 2^nd generation Pool Party ink.

The image was the coloured using the following Blends Markers – Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Seaside Spray  Purple Posy. The corners were punched and the panels glued together with the liquid adhesive. The whole piece was added to the Early Espresso strip.

3^rd inside panel

I rounded the the upper left corner of another of the dsp panels and adhered it inside the card on the right. I adhered the last 2¾” panel of the Early Espresso strip to the inside front panel.

The sunflowers from the Jar of Flowers stamp set were stamped in Early Espresso ink and coloured using  the following Blends Markers – Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Crumb Cake & Seaside Spray. The stamped panel was added to an Old Olive panel and adhered to the Early Espresso strip.

4^th inside panel

The small sunflowers from the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set were stamped in Early Espresso and coloured with the Blends Markers mentioned above.

I stamped the 80 from the Family Party stamp set in Early Espresso ink and added the happy birthday in the same ink. The stamped panel was adhered to the remaining small Old Olive panel and then to the Early Espresso strip.

Back Panel

Using the Detailed Trio Punch I rounded the upper right corner of the final dsp panels and adhered it to the card front using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I added the last Old Olive layer.

I stamped the sunflower in one colour asnd coloured it as before. I left plenty of room to write a message. In fact I was so keen to write my message I forgot to photograph the panel first……..numpty…..

I really hope my aunt likes the card.
