Sunflower snippets


Hello all, a quick post with a card for the current Snippets Playground challenge.

Like lots of us I love Sunflowers so was more than a little excited when the new Lavinia Twilight Tea collection landed here a week or two ago and I've had fun creating with them. Above using the set of three Sunflowers and a set of the leaves. Lots of cutting out which was a bit time consuming but I was happy how it turned out. The gold circles made but drawing round two different size dies using a glue pen and brushing Cadence Gilding Tilsen. Some soft stencilling in the background, words down the leading edge stamped with Versamak and brushed over with two colours of mica powder, finally a sticker sentiment.

I would also like to link up to Try it on Tuesday whose theme is Summer Blooms, Beautiful Blossoms following the A/G route and Four Seasons challenge where it's all about Summer and finally Ellie's new Garden Party.


I even remembered a photo of my snippets which were used to stamp the Sunflowers.
