This month's stamp set is all about sunflowers.
I love the sentiments in this set and though I'm not a huge fan of this style of stamp set, I did enjoy working with it. Here is my creation:
This is only the second easel card I've made and I think it was perfect for my basket of flowers.
If you follow my blog at all, you know I don't enjoy colouring in stamped images. Well, this time was no different. I used the dot sides of the new Dotty for You paper pack to stamp the flowers. They just looked like a basket full, so that's what I made!
I made the basket by weaving paper together on my desk and then after running a cut-out basket through my Xyron, I just placed the woven papers on top, trimming them all to match the shape. I did have to add a bit of adhesive with my glue pen to make sure all the edges were down. Then I put a double layer of 3-D Foam Tape down the middle before attaching it to the green paper to give it a bit more dimension. The Bitty Pearls were added to the basket to just make it look prettier. My daughter, who is 6, suggested I do all the rows, and I think she was right. I like it that way. The flowers are popped at varying levels. Here's another view:
