Hello crafters! I embossed a piece of milk coloured card using the Celtic
Flower embossing folder. Next, I cut the Slimline If Friends Were Flowers All In
One out of chestnut brown card. I added a milk card backing to the die cut. I cut it again in both straw yellow and khaki
green card. I nipped all of the flowers out of the straw die cut and
leaves out of the Khaki green card and glued them on top of the chestnut brown
base. I cut just the flowers out of the
straw card die cut and glue them on to the chestnut brown base (the flowers
will be glued to the green leaves and flowers) I added small 3mm white pearls to the centres of all
the small flowers. Using the Sunflower Bouquet die set, I cut seven
or eight leaf stalks out of Khaki green card and cut seven or eight of the sunflower heads. I cut the centres out of chestnut brown card
and cut three extra to go on to the centres of the three larger flowers in the
slimline die. I added the sunflower stalks and flower heads to the right side of
the embossed background so that it looks like a huge sunflower garden. Next, I cut two clouds out of Arctic Blue card using the
Twinkle Twinkle Stars and Clouds die set. I glued them in place at the top of the card. I added the slimline die to the left of the sunflowers with mounting foam. The card was completed with milk card and chestnut brown card mats and layers. The
finished dimensions are 8 ¼” x 9 ½” in size. All for now, Sue x

Good morning Sue and all.
A lovely card to start the day.I particulary like the strip on the left side of the card which
would make a slimline card I think.
The Sunflowers are a promise of spring. (Try to think of Spring Steph)
Have a goood day.

But hey Sue ... a massive Thankyou for everything you do for us Particraft fans. Sending hugs π€ and best wishes to everyone who needs them today.

Good morning Sue,
I love this sentiment as friends are so important. I love the slimline section & think that would make a perfect card on it's own. Yvonne xx

Morning Sue, not sure on today's post. Love the dies but its not talking to me for some reason. However, as always, elements are great for inspiration...
Morning Sue, what a fabulous card. When I tuned in this morning I thought WOW. It's a real picture which at times is what is needed for some of my friends. Thanks. A.
Hi Sue, a very bright and cheerful card. I love the slimline die and love sunflowers but for me there are just a few too many and it looks a little busy, sorry.
Steph - sending virtual (((((hugs))))) to you.

Hi Sue - loving the sunflowers - my absolute favourite flower! I think the amount of sunflowers is just perfect - commercially they grow in huge fields that stretch as far as the eye can see, so definitely not too many in my view. Beautiful and uplifting - thank you. Colleen x
Hi Sue,
just what was needed, it is bitterly cold outside, with rain forecast..........
Hugs
Rose
Pretty summery card Perfect for these dismal days
A very busy card with what sounds like a lot of fiddly cutting, but it looks lovely...luv Ursula xx
Love this card Sue, sunflowers make me smile!!!!
Lovely card Sunflowers always bring a smile to my face there is something so cheerful about them
This is a lovely sentiment and I like the card but I think I would use less sunflowers outside the frame because, to me, it looks a bit overcrowded.
Doreen R
A lovely card with a lovely sentiment.
Hugs from Toronto to you all.
Stay safe and healthy.
