DT 125 - Sunflower Friends

 Welcome to Double Trouble Challenge 125!

The colours of sunflowers - a perfect match for this week's challenge...

The small graphic is below. Please visit the Double Trouble Challenge Blog for detailed information. 

There is a lot happening on this card - hot foiling, ink bending, die cutting, washi tape - the list goes on. 

I started with a gold hot foiled background and cut a piece of patterned paper with similar shades of green to those in the sunflowers. The centre piece was ink blended with three Distress Oxide inks and splattered with water. I added a gold ribbon at the bottom of that piece and then placed the white circle die cut with the stamped sentiment to the right of the papers. The sunflowers are actually washi tape images that were die cut and added along the left side of the circle. A few gold glitter gems finished off my card. 

Come and join us at Double Trouble and show us how you interpret this week's challenge. 

You have two weeks to link up your project. 

I am also entering my card in the Inspiration Station Challenge.

We can't wait to see what you create! 

Enjoy,

Alyson

The gold glitter is a pretty touch! I haven't got into hot foiling yet but I'm sure starting to see a lot of projects that make me think I might need to! Very cute sunflower card :)

Gorgeous composition with all the layers and pretty circle die peeking out. All the pops of gold are so elegant.
