Sweet Sunflowers Birthday Card

For this month's lots of layers challenge over on Let's Craft and Create I would share my

sunflower birthday card made with my Dreamees Sweet Sunflower and matching dies which are also available from Create & Craft depending on stock.

First I stamped the sunflowers stamps out onto the Dreamees Velvet cardstock, which has a lovely suede feel to it.

This cardstock not only stamps but takes the ink very well, giving lots of texture to your project.

 I used a combination of the Spring/Sumer and Autumn/ Winter dinky inkies to colour the sunflowers.

Using the dies I cut out the sunflowers, there was a cd rom which came with this bundle for the other dies in this collection.

I layered up the flowers and then put together my layers for the card.  I was going for a more rustic look to the card, so went with a kraft card base card, driftwood backing paper from my driftwood paper pad from The Works. It was then layered up with some green satin board (from Create & Craft).  I also used the border from the Dreamees square lace die collection. The sentiment is also from the stamp set.

A little lace and some chocolate Dreamee pearls to finish it off.

Happy Crafting!
