Hello bloggers! I have been having a bit of fun with the
Sunflower Stained Glass Circle here, but not in the circles! I started by embossing the background with the
Art Deco Flowers embossing folder on a piece of
Arctic Blue card. Next I cut the
Sunflower Circles three times out of white card that was doubled each time, That way, I got a backing piece for each of the flowers so I was able to paper piece them. I cut the die again three times out of straw yellow card and paper pieced the petals into the flower. I then cut the die three times out of khaki card and used the fall away from the leaves and paper pieced them back into the white dies. I cut the circles off of each of them, then added them to the background with foam mounting tape. I cut a couple of white clouds from the
Twinkle Twinkle Cloud and Stars set. I cut the
Heartfelt Thanks out of chestnut brown card and glued it to the top of the card. I added dries clear glue to the flower's centres and sprinkled
Dark Bronze Polished silk glitter on them. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue.
A very happy cheerful card today thank you.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Morning Sue, todays card is great, brought a smile to my face. Love the paper piecing, a lot of work, but so effective. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a great sample, and I am intrigued to know that you double the white card and then cut them and others 3 times, I am going to have a go at this to see if I get this same effect, watch this space.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue I do love a sunflower they are full of happiness and they are coming into our homes a lot more rather than just a flower to compete with. I hope you have or are working on a tutorial for this sample as I'm intrigued. Homeward bound today after a peaceful few days in Snowdonia. Keep well everyone xx
Goood morning Sue and all.
What a lovely surprise to see the die I won as today's sample.
I will most certainly be coming back to this when I've done my morning chores. I will be eager to try if my eyes will let me (LOL)
Thank you Sue.

Hello Sue, a lovely happy card. Sunflowers are so uplifting.
Like others I am intrigued that you double the card and I am thinking that this cuts the top piece of card and only marks the bottom piece so that you have a base to paper piece to. Don't have the sunflower die yet but might try this with another

Morning Sue - absolutely love this design! I call sunflowers “happy flowers”, because it is impossible to look at them and not smile. I am definitely going to have a go at making this one - would make a great get well card too I think. Colleen x

Hi Sue Fabulous card I love the sunflowers they always bring a smile to my face
Hi Sue. I do admire your patience with paper piecing. I find I can't cope with the tiny pieces so I usually don't even try this technique which is a shame because the results are so effective.

Love your fun sunflower card!
