The sunflower frame was colored with Fiskars Gel Pens - yellow, green and brown. I cut the image out and popped it on the card with 3D foam circles and squares and added brown rhinestones in the center of the sunflowers. The yellow and brown card stock is from TAC, the green print is from K & C Company - Ancestry.com and the brown stripe is from Reflections - Autumn. I used Nestabilities Labels 2 Die-Cuts to cut out the sentiment and brown card stock. I sponged around the sentiment with Memento Desert Sand and added brown rhinestones underneath the words. The corners were done with Cuttlebug Vintage Dies and embellished with yellow rhinestones. I added a yellow sheer ribbon.

Happy Harvest

I made this card for StampTV's Technique Challenge - STVTC32 - Spotlighting. This was my first attempt at this technique. I definitely will do another card to be more comfortable using this technique. The stamp I choose is from a set called Autumn Beauty by Gina K Designs. I colored the sunflower with Prisma color pencils and OMS. The image was cut out with Nestabilies Circles Die-Cut and sponged around the edges with Memento Rich Cocoa. I also cut out the plain image with Nestabilities Ovals Die-Cut and dark brown card stock with the Scallop Ovals Die-Cut. I sponged around the image with Memento Desert Sand and sponged a little Rich Cocoa on the plain sunflower image. The card stocks (dark brown, olive and yellow) are from TAC. The yellow card stock was embossed with Cuttlebug Argyle Embossing Folder. The olive card stock was punched out with Fiskars Sunburst Border Punch and Sizzlits Photo Corners #2 Die-Cuts. I embellished the card with jute, 2 yellow mini brads and yellow/green ribbon. The words Happy Harvest are from TAC - TrendyGreetings and stamped on yellow card stock that was cut out with Sizzlits Scallop Tag Die-Cut.
