The Flower Challenge #78 -- DIE CUTS OR STENCILS

 This month's challenge at The Flower Challenge is to use DIE CUTS or STENCILS with

flowers as the main focus of your card.

 

I've been seeing several rainbow blooms on Instagram. They include Ilda and Aileen's

rainbow cone flower and Caly's gorgeous sunflower.

I thought I'd give rainbow coloring a try with Simon Says Stamp's Sunflower Petals

which Caly mentioned was meant to be made as a colorful bloom.

 

 After die cutting the four petals in the set, I inked them with distress inks and tried

to overlap the colors when transitioning to the next color. The center was cut from

kraft card stock and inked with dark brown ink.

 

 After assembling the sunflower, I splattered on some gold paint and adhered it to an 

embossed card base. I finished off with a foiled sentiment from The Stamp Market. 

Wouldn't it be fun to see a field of rainbow flowers IRL?

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!
