Today’s card features the Stampin’ Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set and coordinating Sunflower Dies.
This stamp set makes it so easy to create a realistic sunflower. I colored my sunflowers with our Stampin’ Blends Alcohol Markers. These markers help you create highlights and shadows for a 3D color effect.
And to add a bit of dazzle I used the Stampin’ Up! Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint. It really takes your card to the next level. It’s beautiful!!
