Gather Together

Hi Everyone, 

This weeks card is another Autumn inspired card and my last one for this year, Halloween is round the corner so I need to get ready for that!

The papers and topper comes from the Autumn paper crafting kit from a designer called Mermaids Cove on Creative Fabrica. 

The sunflowers I handmade using the Heartfelt Creations mold and die set. 

I have made a little photographic tutorial at the end of this post showing how I coloured the flowers with my collection of Panpastel's.   

Instead of using inks I have been playing with these little pans of colour and I am enjoying using them so much so I have invested in a few more sets, in particular Susan's Garden collections and also the Lia Griffiths collections.  

I am going to enter my card in the following challenges:

Topper & Papers From a designer called Mermaids Cove on Creative Fabrica. 

The Sunflowers Are Handmade By Craftyemdesigns 

Step One - I Cut The Leaves Out Of White Card & Coloured Them With My Green Panpastel

Step 2 - I Cut Out The Sunflowers From White Card And Then Coloured Them With Orange & Yellow Panpastel's

Step 3 - Shading The Colours Starting With The Orange In The Middle & Yellow Going Outwards 

Step 4 - All Colored 

Step 5- Ready To Go In The Mold 

Once You Place The Flowers & Leaves In The Mold You Lightly Spray Them With Water And Then Run Them Through The Embossing Machine I Have Sizzix Big Shot Switch Plus

Once They Are Run Through The Embossing Machine Build Them Up Using Glue, For The Centres I Used A Spot Of Wet Glue & Added Black Flowersoft From Katy Sue Designs.

Thanks for looking craftyem x
