Black-eyed Susan's and Forsythia

There are many people a lot of us are missing during this time we all need to be staying home.  I decided to create a sunny card for someone special.

The background is textured tan card stock.  A piece of gunny sack material was cut in a square and threads pulled out to form a fringe.  This was attached to the card front using double sided tape.

Five of Susan's Garden Notes Black-eyed Susans were created.  The pieces in this die set were die cut using 90# cardstock, colored by sponging on two shades of yellow ink, and shaped.  The center of the flower was created by gluing the small die cut brown pieces in the center of each flower, stacking high to create a dome.  Brown prills were glued in the center of each dome.

Forsythia stems were created by die cutting Susan's Leafy Berry Branch and attaching a lot of the small yellow Forsythia flowers.  The Garden Notes Berry Branch was die cut and red berries, created with Nuvo Crystal Drops, added.  This branch was cut apart and attached behind the flowers.

A sentiment and a black/white gingham bow were added to complete the card.
