Sunflower Greetings
X3!
Ever wanted a dry embossed background to go with your main image and were unable to find what you wanted? That’s what inspired this background. I wanted some texture but did not want it take over, just a little something extra. So I set out to make a “faux embossed” background using the same die I used for the main image. I made this a Thanksgiving card, but it would easy to swap out the greeting for a birthday or just fall.
It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge IC1039 so we are headed to GEC Designs & their Pinterest Board. THIS was my inspiration.
To make my card, I die cut 4 sunflowers & their centers out of vanilla & glued them to a matching piece of card stock. You can see a tutorial I did on Faux Embossing. Then I die cut it w/ the second largest of the rounded stitch rectangles. I also ran it through the embossing cycle to fuse the sunflowers to the matching background. This gives the impression of an embossed background. Then the sunflower & all its parts were die cut out of yellows, brown, rust & greens and glued together. I also attached a layer of card board behind it to elevate it & give it strength. The greeting was put together by cutting out the just the stamped Thanksgiving part & then die cutting the Greetings. Both are also popped up one layer. It’s all attached to a piece of designer paper.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

Farm Fresh
Except for the stamped greeting, this card is entirely die cut and paper pieced. For those of you who love paper piecing and scene building, this die set would make an awesome addition to your collection. Change the colors and make it winter, spring or summer. Add or take away elements to make it your own and your friends and family will be amazed when they receive it.
A big congrats to Kris, the newest Featured Stamper FS977! She has small, but growing gallery & I chose THIS card to case. It started out to be a case, but I was carried away & about the only thing they have in common now is a building & some trees. My version took a turn somewhere & ended up a lot different. I’m sure y’all know how that goes.
To make my farm scene, I die cut all the pieces & parts out of mostly fall colors. I had a kraft colored deckle frame just sitting there & I liked how it looked w/ this. I added a very narrow frame of ivory on top of it to brighten it up a bit. There was a lot of dry fitting w/ this because I had a lot of elements & a limited space to put them. I also complicated it a bit by having that one tree on the right partially on top of the frame. All the pieces were individually put together then the scene was built starting with the green hills. I didn’t attach them fully along the top edges of the hills so I could stick the trees & corn stalks in there. The tree on the right was glued to the top edge of the frame, then carefully I slid the trunk behind the barn when I put the frame on top. The frame is popped up another layer, as is the greeting tag & the tractor.
