Super Sunflowers by Doreen

Super Sunflowers

Hello all, here we are into May, hopefully heading for bright and sunny days, hence my first card for this month.

A bit of fussy cutting with this make but it is simple they are clean and easy lines to follow.

The ribbon which is white and from my stash is dyed using the Brushos too.

I took one piece of the A4 Drawing Cartridge and stamped 5 of the images in a zig-zag fashion to be sure to make the best of the A4 sheet using a Tuxedo Black Memento Inkpad.

Leave to dry or heat set with your heat gun. 

With three colours of your own choice from the Brusho range sprinkle over the page and spritz with water, set aside to dry naturally which will help retain the colour.

For the Ribbon I used two small pots to dilute some red and yellow Brushos then using a wide paintbrush soaked the ribbon allowing the colours to bleed into one another. ( This is best done on a cellophane bag as it makes it easy to put to one side to dry and won't stain anything else.) 

When everything is dry fussy cut your flower heads and shape them slightly with either a large ball tool if you have one or a bone folder but even with your fingers if you have neither of these. Take care to remember Brushos will stain your fingers so you may wish to wear some gloves to do this. 

Once cut out using a 9" x 7" Card Blank apply to card using a Glue Gel of choice. To apply the Ribbon I have used wide Red Liner Double Sided Tape.

Then to finish off I used a Gold Gel Pen to add some sparkle to the centres of the sunflowers and a White Gel Pen to enhance the detail of the petals.

Thank you for looking in today

Love Doreen
