Clean and Simple Sunflower handmade card

Today I'm back to share a little more Sunflower happiness, and to join 

in with the Festive Friday Challenge

The weather here in the UK has been very yuk! 

so this Sunflower is sure to brighten a dull day!

The Sunflower stamps from Stampin' Up! are 

beautiful and are amazing to colour, 

I've coloured the sunflower with my Stampin' Blends, this 

card is super simple to make and is perfect for the beginner

card maker, and even for the avid crafter who needs a card in a jiffy!

To make my card you will need 

a C6 Card base, I've used Thick Whisper White cardstock 

measuring 21xm x 14.85cm scored in half at 10.5cm

A Daffodil Delight Cardstock Layer measuring 8.3cm x 12.7cm

another Whisper white layer measuring 8cm x 12.4cm

I stamped the smaller Sunflower directly on to this layer using 

memento Ink, and then Coloured in with my Old Olive Light and Dark Blends

with Daffodil Delight Light and Dark Stampin Blends, 

The centre of my sunflower is coloured in with Soft Suede Light and Dark.

The sentiment is stamped on to an off cut of Whisper White cardstock 

stamped also in Memento Ink, and then cut trimmed to approx 3.2cm x .6cm

and adhered on dimensional pads,

It's been ages since I joined in a challenge, and came across the Festive Friday Challenge 

so I thought I'd play along and enter my card, 

I've picked CAS Design, Single Image and Floral Theme

I've used the Inspiring Iris Stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Stamp set details 149268 @ £20

I've had my eye on the Stamp Set for a while! 

I love Iris and couldn't resist treating myself to the stamp set!

These cards are really simple to create, they are Two step stamps

so I stamped the outline stamps first of each flower in memento black ink, 

then stamped over the top with second stamps to add my chosen  

colour for the flower, and stem and leaves!

the two step stamps are so easy to use 

#simplestamping

I kept my layers simple with no Die cuts or any fancy 

tools with the #begineer crafter in mind,
