THANKS to SCIC #23 and OTWC #28 for Inspiration!

It has been 12 days since my last post (who's counting???!!!) and I was bursting at the seams to create something. I found two new challenges (for me anyway!) and I used them to create my sunflower card. I used the Stampin' Celebration Inspiration Challenge for my sunflower and lattice work and the Off The Wall Craftiness Inspiration Colors. These two challenges just complemented each other so well!

Here's my Thank You card! I used a Spellbinders Die to cut and emboss the under layer of my flower. For the second layer I crinkled the paper until I was able to pull the two layers apart and make the flower look more real. I LOVE this technique and have found that paper from PTI is thick enough to do this to. Then I sprayed both layers with Glimmer Mist in iridescent gold to have some shimmer. LOVE how this turned out. This was my first time using Glimmer Mist!

Edit: This card made Stampin' Celebrations Top 3!

Can you see how I embossed the kraft background (PTI impression plate) to look like the lattice fence? I layered this on PTI True Brown and then PTI Dottie Biscotti. I added some SU brown ribbon for a little extra something.

I took a close up of the flower center. I glued brown seed beads on it for texture. They are actually brown but some look iridescent in the pic.

Here is the inside. I cut and embossed a small sunflower to perk up the inside. I hope you like my card!!
