Sunflower Thanks--#tgifc267

I'm feeling a little nostalgic with this week's TGIF Challenges color challenge.  Night of  Navy and Bumblebee are (or were--it's been over 50 years ago) the colors of my Kansas high school service club, the Kayettes. So, naturally, I had to use the club emblem for my card:  the sunflower.  That's where the additional challenge color, Crumb Cake, comes in.


First step was to stamp 5 of the small sunflowers from Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set (#152517).  I stamped them in Soft Suede on Whisper White card stock, colored them with So Saffron and Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends Combos and die cut them using the coordinating Sunflowers dies (#152704, also available in a bundle with stamp set for 10% off).  I trimmed off the leaves and arranged the flowers on the Night of Navy and Crumb Cake tweed pattern from the In Good Taste designer series paper pack (#152494). I trimmed off the overlapping edges from the sunflowers and layered the paper on Night of Navy card stock and then a Bumblebee card stock card base.  


The greeting was stamped in Night of Navy ink on Crumb Cake and die cut using a die from the Rectangle Stitched die set (#148551).  Bumblebee Enamel dots from the 2020-2022 In Color collection (#152480) and two pieces of Linen thread (wrapped around the card twice and tied in a bow) complete the card.

You are going to love the projects made with this fun color combination over at the TGIF Challenges blog here.


Have a great week!
