Sunshine Notecard

 Happy Sunday!

For today's project I'm sharing this quick Sunshine Notecard perfect for sending a note to a loved one or friend. To create my notecard, I've used the NEW dies and stamps from the Beautiful Blooms Collection as well as dies from Joset Designs and stencils from the Art Journal Collection. You'll want to read below as I have a full tutorial on how to recreate my notecard at home.



To start, die cut a 3 3/4" Stitched Indented Rectangle out of a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Choose one of the stencils from the Art Journal Pattern Stencil Pack. Place the stencil in the middle of the rectangle and use a blending tool with foam to put Wild Honey Distress Ink through the stencil. Remove the stencil. Distress the edges of the rectangle. Ink the edges of the rectangle using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


Die cut a 4" Fitted Indented Rectangle out of a piece of kraft cardstock. Distress the edges of the rectangle. Ink the edges of the rectangle using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.


From the Sunshine Stamp Set, you'll need the two sunflowers. Apply Potting Soil Archival Ink to the stamps and stamp onto a piece of watercolour cardstock. Colour the sunflowers in using a waterbrush and the Watercolour Palette. Using the coordinating dies, die cut the sunflowers out. For the sunflower on an angle, you'll only need a bit of the stem.


Next, you'll need the Sunshine word from the Sunshine Stamp Set. Apply Jet Black Archival Ink to the word and stamp onto a piece of White Soft Finish Cardstock. Using the coordinating die, die cut the sunshine word out. 


Adhere the 3 3/4" rectangle to the 4" rectangle.


Use adhesive and foam squares to adhere the sunflowers on the 3 3/4" rectangle as desired.


Adhere the sunshine word to the bottom of the sunflowers as desired.


To finish the card, cut a cardbase out of White Soft Finish Cardstock that measures 3 3/4" x 10", score at 5". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.


Here are a few closeup photos of the finished notecard.
