Hello Sunflower

Hello friends and Happy Mother's Day to the all of the Mums - in any shape or form.  I hope your day is blessed and you are surrounded by family and friends.  For those who Mother's Day is tough - please know you are being thought of today - by so many!


I have been doing a little bit of colouring - Spellbinders has such a great range of stamps, along with stamps and Dies - I am in Heaven! Wink:wink!  I have stamped the Sunflower Bunch Happy Grams by Tammy Tutterow using  Imagine Memento ink in Tuxedo Black, before colouring using Chameleon Pens, I have sponged the background using various colours and sponge daubers.  Once coloured, I have randomly whitewashed the image - to give it a more 'urban' feel/look.  It has been cut/embossed using the Spellbinders Nestabilities Art Deco Astoria Labels Etched Dies and the Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine.  

                           

The patterned paper for the card front has been embossed using the Embossing Folders Tammy Tutterow Designs Picnic.  The embossed card front has been lightly sanded using a sanding block.  The die cut image has been popped up using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares.  The sentiment has been cut twice using the Shapeabilities Hello Geo Heart Wild & Free by Debi Adams Etched Dies.  Adhere the pink sentiment under the image using liquid glue, followed by the yellow sentiment - offsetting a little to give a shadow effect.  The layers are now popped up onto a pre-cut card base using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares.
