I first stamped the Outlines image of "Sunflower" twice onto X-Press It cardstock with Marvy black dye ink. I colored them with Copic markers and sponged a little bit of Distress Wild Honey ink onto the center of the sunflower. I cut around these images with my Cutterbee scissors and then placed them on top of each other to create a sunflower full of petals and dimension. I then stamped the Outlines image of "Posey Leaf 2" onto X-Press It cardstock with Marvy black dye. I colored the image with Copic markers, and then cut two of the leaves from the image. I used a Memento Tuxedo black marker to draw the stem, and then colored it with Copic markers. Then I was able to assemble the sunflower and put it aside.
The background panel was stamped with the Outlines image "Small Dot Background" using Distress Ink Faded Jeans. I then sponged Adirondack Sailboat Blue dye, Vivid Sky Blue, and Distress Ink Faded Jeans onto the panel. I rounded the corners with a punch, and paper pierced and faux stitched with a white Prismacolor pencil. This panel was then framed with kraft cardstock. The strip across the near bottom of the card is also kraft.
The sentiment is a small portion of Outlines "Blooming Layering Collage". I simply inked the sentiment with a Memento Tuxedo black marker and created a little sentiment flag as suggested by the sketch. The letters are colored with Copic markers.
