Hello! Welcome back! I sure hope that you are having a fantastic day. It's a busy week here, so I'll get right to it! Welcome to this month's One Stamp At A Time Blog Hop - where this month it is all about the Blooms!
While it's true that Sunflowers have long been a favorite of mine, and I have created so many projects with our Celebrate Sunflower Bundle, today's color inspiration definitely came from current events.
I started on the card by creating the watercolor pieces. After creating a color wash on the background of Balmy Blue and Navy, I worked on the sunflower. There might be an easier process, but this is what I did - I started by laying all the die pieces I wanted to use out on the Water Color Paper and lightly traced around them, giving myself a bit of extra space. Then I started painting in the areas a mix of all the colors I wanted to use. After die cutting the flower and leaves, I backed them by cutting out the solid dies, so that I could maintain the look of the detailed die image. It was a process, but a fun one!
I kept the box on the simple side, keeping with the same color scheme, and I felt that the sentiment was especially fitting. The small sunflower stamped in Night of Navy on Night of Navy Cardstock is STUNNING! I think sometimes this set might feel overwhelming, but it doesn't need to be!
I truly hope that you enjoy today's blog hop! This group always does an amazing job at inspiring me, and I hope it inspires you too!
