Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflower
The card I am sharing today is a shaker card and is created using Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set, Sunflowers Dies, Brilliant Wings Dies, and Timber 3D Embossing Folder.
I am entering the Hand Stamped Sentiments challenge for today. I find inspiration from the sunflower.
I am also entering The Card Concept Challenge. My card is a combination of Clean and Layed and Mixed Media. I find inspiration from the butterfly and the yellow flower behind the butterfly plus the muted background for my shaker.
To create this card, I cropped the Big Sunflower from the Sunflower Dies. I cut a piece of window sheet and a piece of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper. I embossed a panel of Early Espresso card stock using the Timber 3D Embossing Folder. I also embossed with the same embossing folder the negative piece left from cropping the sunflower.
Leaves are cropped using a die from the Stampin’ Up! Sunflower Dies, a butterfly is also cropped using a die from Stampin’ Up! Brilliant Wings Dies. The butterfly is colored using Old Olive and Cajun Craze ink and a Blending Brush. A bow is made using Crumb Cake Twine from Baker’s Twine Essential Pack.
The Early Espresso card stock embossed panel is adhered to the Cajun Craze card stock card base using Multipurpose Glue. The sunflower is adhered back in the negative piece from cropping the sunflower and the piece of window sheet is adhered to it using Tear & Tape. Sequins are then placed between the window sheet and the piece of Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper and sealed using Tear & Tape. The piece is then adhered to the embossed panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The leaves are popped on using Glue Dots. The twine bow is adhered to the top leaves using a Glue Dot and the Brilliant Wings Butterfly is popped on the bottom leaves using a Stampin’ Dimensional. Rustic Adhesive Backed Dots are popped on the card front. No greeting is added to the front as I do not know what type card I want it to be.
A sunflower from the September Paper Pumpkin is stamped in the lower corner of the Basic White card stock panel. It is colored using Crushed Curry and Early Espresso ink and a Blender Pen. No sentiment is included as I do not know what type of card I want. It can be a birthday, thinking of you, encouragement, congratulations, or to write a note.
A panel of Brights 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper Assortment is adhered to a Basic White Medium Envelope flap.

To create the Polished Pink sunflower, I dropped several drops of the Polished Pink ink from a refill bottle. I then added water using a Water Painter. I keep adding until I had the color of pink I wanted. I then place a panel of Watercolor paper over the watered-down ink, I then dried the ink using a heat tool, then dipped in the ink again. I kept doing this until I had the panel covered, dried it again with the heat tool and it was ready for stamping. 
I first stamped the sunflower from the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set using Polished Pink ink, then I stamped Versa Mark over it and sprinkled Clear Embossing Powder over it and heat embossed. Thankfully, I remembered there was a die for this, but on my first try of stamping, I fussy cut. The leaves and stems are cropped from Garden Green card stock. The greeting is stamped in Polished Pink ink on a scrap of Basic White card stock then fussy cut and popped on the card front. I colored a length of ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack using a Polished Pink Stampin’ Blends Marker and created the Breast Cancer Ribbon at the top of the card. Pearls Basic Jewels are added to the center of the sunflower.
