Grateful For My Friend

Hi bloggers!  It's all about the Sunflowers today!  I started with a piece of milk card and embossed it using the Butterfly Dreams embossing folder for texture.  I used a light bit of Antique Linen ink around the edge to bring out the design.  I attached a piece of decorative dotty paper (from my stash) to the bottom of the card and cut a brown border piece and glued it between the two cards.  From the Sunflower Bouquet die set, I cut the sunflower stalks in green and added two different sized flower heads to them, adding medium sized clear micro beads to the centres which were also cut in brown.  Beside that, I cut the Julia die out of milk card and backed it in brown.  I cut the centre separately in the same manner and layered it on top.  I added it with foam to the card then added two smaller sunflower embellishments to the corner.  From the Mix & Match Friendship Sentiment set, I cut the Grateful sentiment in brown and glued it to the top of the card and added the "for my friend" in brown to the decorative paper at the bottom of the card.  I added a single sunflower with a micro bead centre and leaves next to the sentiment.  Milk mats and layers were used to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x 8" in size.  All for now,, Sue x
