Sunflower 3D Card + Sponge Daubing

Happy Make Something Monday! 🎉 Let's kick off the week with some crafty sunshine…

Y'all — this card just makes me SO happy!

I used the Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder on white cardstock (5 1/4 x 4 1/8) to create that stunning textured background. Those big golden blooms with the deep green leaves? Gorgeous!

The sponge daubing on that embossing folder is what gives it that beautiful hand-painted look. Layer by layer — Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso, and Old Olive — until those sunflowers just POP.  Then I took the Tuxedo Black Memento inkpad and just slid the inkpad all over the paper

I added the Jute Ribbon as I accidentally ripped a corner on the sunflower cardstock. OOPS!!

The “Hello Sunshine” sentiment comes from the Exploring Nature Stamp Set — stamped on a die cut from the Beautifully Celebrated Dies.

I added a little green leaf die-cut detail tucked next to the label to tie it all together.

This is one of those cards that feels like sunshine in your hands. Perfect to send to someone who needs a little bright moment. ☀️

Who would YOU send this to?
