Sunflowers Challenge is the current challenge at Double D and this is my take on it. I don’t have many stamps with sunflowers so I looked through Pinterest to see what I could find. I really liked this panel and it was free so I downloaded it and then resized for my card front. I added some score lines on each side for added interest. After searching through my stamp sets I found a couple of different ones in 3 separate Gina K floral stamps and I chose this one from A Year of Flowers. I also used the 2 sentiments from this set. Once I had the image stamped I coloured it with Inktense pencils and bit of water. It curled at the edges naturally as I fussy cut it while it was still slightly damp. I popped it up with foam tape so that the sentiment section is peeking out from behind. I added a bit of shine using a Spectrum sparkle pen and I also spattered a bit of it over the top. A couple of small gems from my stash and it was finished.
I’m quite happy with the result, especially as I’m not very inspired to make cards at the moment. I did think about colouring the panel, but preferred the starkness of the black and white on top of the Yellow card front.
Thanks for stopping by it is appreciated as are any comments you may leave for me. I’m off to do a Zoom call with a friend we don’t see as often as we’d like.


Beautiful card! You can always look at Power Poppy and get their free digital sunflower images. I think she still has them free since they are the Ukraine flower.

Beautiful! Sunflowers always remind me of Romania – there are fields full of them, harvested for their seeds
