Faux Tile Sunflower Card

Two handmade greeting cards feature large yellow sunflowers, green leaves, and butterflies over patterned green-and-white backgrounds. One card says "Sending HAPPY thoughts," the other "SENDING sunshine." Both are signed Patty Bennett, pattystamps.com is noted. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

The sunflower embossing folder came back in stock AGAIN (I think it has sold out more times than any previous Stampin’ Up! embossing folder) and I wanted to share a different way to use the sunflowers. After embossing 1/4 sheets, I cut them apart and used single flowers on my cards today. Combining it with a bright, vibrant green leafy faux tile background seemed perfect!

Green and white faux tile panels with leafy prints are arranged on a desk with ink pads, clear stamps, and a grid mat. Bold text reads: “Faux Tile Technique featuring Moody Leaves stamp.” The name Patty Bennett and website pattystamps.com appear below. To read more, visit Patty Stamps (pattystamps.com)

I created the faux tile background for these sunflower cards using my Moody Leaves background stamp. I used Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist and Shaded Spruce ink on my stamp.
