Krafty Chicks Challenge #687: All Occasions

  Happy Krafty Chicks Thursday to you!

 Welcome to another great challenge from the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog. All Occasions is the theme this week, so pretty much anything goes. I needed a thank you card and I created this one before it SNOWED a couple of days ago. Yup in Alberta, Canada, it snows whenever it feels like it, no matter the season. Let's hold on to hope it'll melt soon with these sunflowers though.

Can you believe these sunflowers are a stencil?? Stampin' Up! calls them masks. There's four layers that line up perfectly to make gorgeous flowers. I used my Blending Brushes to add colour quickly to the panel then used my Stitched Rectangle dies to pop up the center panel and add dimension. If you want a bit more shading, try using a Sponge Dauber and going heavier with the colour near the center. Here's a close up:

I like to keep the inside of the card and the envelope clean and simple. That was easily done with stencilling a sunflower to coordinate the set.

 

Head on over to the Krafty Chicks Challenge Blog for more details about the challenge and for more inspiration for All Occasions week from the Design Team. There's even a place to upload your project at the end. I hope you play along with us and show us what's happening in your craft space.
