A Sunflower Birthday!

Today I'm sharing the birthday card I recently made for my friend Joan's birthday.  I admire her card making daily as she posts her creations, which of course makes it even harder to decide on a card worthy of sending to her.  

I decided on using a new Embossing folder, knowing she loves Altenew and embossing folders.  I selected the Altenew, Sunflower Bundle Embossing Folder turning it 'sideways', putting the flowers across the bottom of the image.  

There are so many ways to proceed with this folder design.  I most comfortable Copic coloring, which is how I proceeded.  

I used the Pink & Main, Stitched Rectangle Dies once the coloring was completed.  I selected a green patterned paper for the background and the kraft 5" square top fold card base.   After securing the background paper, I added the sunflower image just slightly down from the top, leaving about 1" from the bottom.  Lastly I added the brown burlap trim across the bottom of the image and the Happy Birthday tag at the top. 

Happy Birthday Joan!
