Sunflowers & Woodland Leaves

The weather has been crazy.  It was very cold with snow in the mountains, and today the sun is shining and the colorful autumn leaves look beautiful.

Today I decided to duplicate some of the beautiful autumn leaves to show off these sunflowers.

This is a 6x6 inch card.  I used a piece of embossed metallic card stock for the base card.  A piece of vanilla card stock was cut slightly smaller and scored around the edges.  On this piece I stenciled on a design then added another piece of the embossed metallic cardstock, which was also scored around the edges.

Susan's Woodland Leaves die set was used to die cut the maple leaves, using Susan's Specialty Cardstock.  They were brushed with marigold, orange, and brown inks.  Dots were added for a realistic appearance.  The leaves were attached to one side of the metallic cardstock.  

Susan's Berry branch was die cut and small red styrofoam balls, that were colored dark red, were added to the branches.  They were attaced under the autumn leaves.

Using Susan's Sunflower die set, three sunflowers were created. They were die cut using Susan's Specialty Cardstock.  They were brush with yellow inks on the Waffle Flower Media Mat then shaped with tools from Susan's Flower Tool Kit.  They were glued together using Kids Choice Glue that was put in the Sili Glue Pod.   Both Prills and Pollen were added to the center of each flower.  A few sunflower leaves were added around the flowers.
