I am sure most of you have seen some of the new items out there on Pintrest. So today I am going to show you a card I did with my favorite preorder product. Celebrate Sunflowers bundle. The Sunflower image is just stunning. I have used it with and without the dies. The card I will focus on today I just wanted that image to stand out on its own. You can check out my preorder box opening here. These are items from the new catalog. You can always follow me on my Facebook page for the latest update and prize drawings. I will start a weekly Facebook Live next month.
Today’s card was fun. I created my own designer series paper. The main sunflower image really lends well to this. I also tried out some of the new in-colors that will be available on the 3rd of June in the new annual catalog.
Here are the colors.
I choose to use Cinnamon Cider with my card today. This color reminds me of old worn leather. So warm and cozy.
The Card
Base – 11 x 4 1/4 inches, scored at 5 1/2 inches Mango Melody
2nd Layer – 4 x 5 1/4 inches Cinnamon Cider stamped with Large Sunflower in Soft Suede. Take paper snips and grate down the sides of your paper a bit to distress them. Take the sponge dauber and rub soft suede in all around the edges getting some on the front of the cardstock. After this is complete you are going to take the stamped piece and crumble it up into a ball. then bring it back to shape. This will give your distressed look. I also added a touch more of the soft suede with the dauber on those crinkles.

Sentiment – cut out of a scrap of very vanilla with the Ornate Layering dies and stamped sentiment in Terracotta Tile ink.
I surrounded the sentiment with pieces of leaves from the Sunflower Dies in Mossy Meadow and Terracotta Tile. The project was finished off with some Gilded Gems from the Ornate Suit.
This by far is my favorite set so far. I will show off a few others that I have done in the weeks to come. I do have another set that I am dying to get my hands on but it is not available to me till the 3rd of June as well. So till I can get it in my hot little hands I will have to wait.
