Autumn Sunflower and Pumpkin Birthday


 

Here is the other autumn themed card I made for a friend whose birthday falls this month as well. This one was made for my college roommate from way back when. Our birthdays are 4 days apart.

I began with die cutting the large pumpkin in white card stock and coloring it with Copic markers. The sunflowers were die cut in yellow card stock and its leaves in green while the fall leaves and acorns were  die cut in white card stock and were colored with Copics. The wheat image was cut in some gold card stock I had in my stash. These were all put aside in order to prepare my base card

The base card was prepared in white card stock and layered with brown. The focal panel, in white card stock, was then adhered to the prepared base card.

Now it was time to put it all together. The pumpkin was adhered to the focal panel using dimensionals. All the other elements were positioned and adhered as shown in the photo. As a final step, the sentiment was die cut in brown card stock and added to the panel. My project was complete.

Here are the products used in creating this card:

Card Stock:  GKD white, sweet corn, dark chocolate; SU garden green; gold (my stash)

Dies:  Honey Bee Fall Bouquet, Cottage Cutz Sunflowers, IO Wheat, Spellbinders Woodland Acorns, Memory Box Lovely Happy Birthday.

Other:  Copic markers, dimensionals, adhesive


Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you will stop by often. Until next time, Happy Fall!
