The Details of My Card
For my card, I wanted to show my support for the Ukraine people. My heart bleeds for them and anyone who are affected by this war! So, I decided to create a sunflower card since it is their national flower. I also decided to use Bumblebee and Pacific Point as my card stock choices to reflect the colours of the Ukrainian flag.
To highlight the sunflowers, I stamped in Pacific Point the sky stamp from the Oceanfront Stamp Set a couple of times on the Basic White card stock. I love how it peeks out from the top die cut sunflower! Once that was done, I layered my pieces. The sentiment was heat embossed with white embossing powder and punched out with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch. A scattering of epoxy shapes represents the “tears of the people” in my mind.
I have created several cards with this bundle in the past. I will include links to the cards at the bottom of this post. There is even a quick video on YouTube explaining the advanced colouring technique I used on the sunflower.
