Sunflower Wishing You A Birthday Filled with Sunshine

Sunflower Wishing You A Birthday Filled with Sunshine

Made two (2) bright and sunny birthday cards today as inspired by Addicted to CAS - Challenge #200 - Sun and AAA Birthday - June Challenge #26 - Flowers which prompted me to use the sunflower as the focal image.

Sunflower Wishing You A Birthday Filled with Sunshine - side by side

For these cards, I am using Jennifer McGuire's split card technique whereby you trim your one (1) image into two (2) to make two (2) cards at once. I even thought about what I should make with the little strip with some stamped petals on it. Well, that can wait for the latter.

Split sunflower into three (3) section

The sunflower is stamped on a bigger-sized cardstock so that the split card technique can be applied. After colored using Copic markers. The image is trimmed as shown in the photo above. I got two (2) 4.25" x 5.5" and a 1" strip.

The sentiment is added curly to match the sunflower shape as I want corner-designed cards. Then, they are attached to the yellow card base.

The card is finished by adding some glitter onto the petals to make them sparkle and shine. That is what a birthday card should be, sparkling and shining.
