Stained Glass Sunflower
Hello crafters! The final post for today (yes there are still some more tomorrow) is the Stained Glass Sunflower die set. While sunflowers are usually yellow, I have taken some poetic license and made these flowers a light purple colour. I like that you can do that and they still look so pretty! These are easy to paper piece, use glitter on, colour with markers, use glossy glaze, you name it, these dies work well with so many crafty products and techniques! They are the perfect dies for a quick card or you can even cut them apart and use the pieces. I really enjoyed making cards with these, I hope you will too! If you would like a chance to win the entire collection, just leave a comment on this post and check back on the 31st to see if your name is the one that is drawn out! The final day starts here tomorrow on the blog at 6am. All for now, Sue x
Evening Sue and all Wilsonettes, I totally agree with you about the blue colour, it is a stunning rich colour you have used, and of course right up my sgtreet, I so love paper piercing.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Hi Sue, another stunning card and the sunflower die is beautiful. Love the way you have offset the outside circle to give a completely different look - it reminds me a bit of a Spirograph drawing. A great day with beautiful dies, thank you.
A great post and fab to see the sunflower and in a different colour to yellow. Love this post and colour combo. This may just be my favourite of the flowers....
Lovely die set I agree the sunflowers can be made into any Daisy/ chrysanthemum type flower by using a variety of shades so very useful Lynne L Haverfordwest
Oh WOW Sue, this is stunning, I’ve just had to have a second/third look at how you’ve shadowed the outer die to make it look like another die. The sunflower can be any flower you choose depending on the colour you use Marlene O
