Hello and welcome to Day 1 of Simon Says Stamp’s Die-cember Release Blog Hop! Be sure to check out the Gallery for more inspiration from this release! Today, I’m sharing a card made using the Sunflower Petals dies to create a 3D sunflower.

I die-cut the pieces using watercolor cardstock and then colored each petal and center with Daniel Smith Watercolors. I also watercolored some leaves from the Detailed Rose set.

I created my sunflower by gluing the petals all around the outer edges of the base die that is included, then I adhered the center with foam adhesive to give it more dimension.

For some interest, I stamped and embossed my background with the Gingham background and ink-blended with Goldenlocks inks before adhering my sunflower. To finish, I attached a sentiment I trimmed from the Reverse Birthday Sentiment Strips.

I am a huge fan of sunflowers but could never get mine to turn out as lovely as yours. Don’t know if I’d have the patience to put one together petal by petal either.
