Today I’m sharing a sunflower-inspired floral card using some beautiful exclusive products from Scrapbook.com. I wanted to capture that transition between summer and fall, so I pulled out the Ginghams A2 patterned paper pad and combined it with the new Sunflowers stamp set. The mustard yellow and warm brown gingham patterns created the perfect cozy backdrop. I stamped and watercolored a sunflower floral cluster on vanilla cardstock, then carefully fussy cut the image since I don’t yet have the coordinating dies. For extra depth, I layered a scalloped frame, added soft ink blending at the bottom of the back panel, and finished it with splatters of white and chocolate shimmer for a mixed-media touch.

To complete the design, I stamped the sentiment “Wishing You Sunny Days” and popped up the scalloped frame with foam adhesive for dimension. The sunflowers sit toward the top of the frame, bringing all the warm colors together, and I finished the card with pops of Lemon Chiffon for a final burst of yellow. The end result feels like a cheerful nod to late summer turning into early fall, full of golden tones and a cozy handmade charm.
