Celebrate Sunflowers Sneak Peek

Today I am playing around with some of my new Sneak Peek items that are coming out in the new Annual Catalog on June 3rd.  This stamp set is called Celebrate Sunflowers and it has a fantastic die collection to go along with it. 
The set features a large sunflower stamp, approx 3 1/4 inches across. There are some nice sentiments for many occasions too.  My first instinct was to watercolor this stamp, and to grab some earth tones for my cards.  I stopped myself though because I had some pretty new colors on my desk, and I really wanted to use them.  I thought about grabbing a different stamp to start with, but changed my mind. I decided to go bold with the sunflower instead, and I like the results. I hope you do too! The new colors are Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Misty Moonlight and Bumblebee.  I made a video that shows how to make these three cards.

This first geometric card was a great one for a card swap I am participating in.  I stamped the entire sunflower on all four colors of cardstock, then cut them apart, giving me enough pieces for four cards.  I added some rhinestones for sparkle.














I love the embossing on this sunflower! That black and white are just beautiful, and the bright colors behind the image really add to the boldness of the card.   I added some Enamel dots in the new InColors as well.














I really wanted to use the big sunflower die, so I made this card just to focus and that big flower.  I embossed the sentiment in white on black, and added the ribbon in Just Jade to sort of mimic a leaf.

 I hope you like my bold take on this new stamp set.  I plan to keep using this set in more ways in the coming weeks, so check back and see some more projects with the Celebrate Sunflowers set.
