Unity Friends with Flair

Hello it’s Friday and time for Friends with Flair.

Today’s card is a beautiful sunflower scene , this stamp came in a grab bag from Unity ( love those bags lots of surprises ).

For this card I made a basic A2 size card and inked the edges with TH frayed burlap and then used a stitched rectangle die to give the stitched look , then cut a cream mat and then a rust paper layer that I embossed with SU square lattice folder , I stamped and colored my image with copic markers added clouds with chalk
and grounded my stamp by adding clumps of grass and a light chalk shading  of green , this was then embossed with the stitched mats and a layer added under , I tied a bow with raffia and made flowers with brown stickles center , the bee is from a SU set called Nature Walk  and i added glossy accents to his wing to make them pop , It’s hard to see these detail thru the camera  but in person its beautiful , the sentiment is Unity and was punch with a SU decorative label punch.I love to create and today was more a fall looking card but I really love sunflowers ( they make me smile ) so I had to use this stamp when I came across it.

Hope you have a great weekend and I hope you come back to visit my 8UpScrapin world next week.

Your scrappy friend Crystal
