This Sunflower Dies are fabulous, and I had to try them with Fine Art Floral Designer Paper.

Fine Art SunFlower
I knew I wanted white as a background, to highlight the sunflower, so I cut a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. This was topped with a layer of Basic White Cardstock, 4 ” X 5 1/4″, embossed with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder.Â
Next, I used a Stitched Rectangles Die (3″ X 4 1/4″) to cut Basic White Cardstock, and layered it on Balmy Blue Cardstock, 1/8″ larger, giving it a 1/16″ border.
The sunflower began with the beautiful Fine Art Floral Designer Paper, cut with the “solid” Sunflowers Die. Then, I cut the “frame” from Thick Basic White Cardstock, and glued the two pieces at the center, leaving the petals free.
Prior to attaching the sunflower with Dimensionals, I used the smaller circle die in the set, to cut the center from Brushed Metallic Cardstock.
The sentiment, “you’re amazing,” is from the Ornate Thanks Stamp Set, stamped in Balmy Blue Ink, and cut with the smallest Stitched Rectangles Die.Â
The little, stylized, bird was cut with a Well Written Die from Fine Art Floral Designer Paper, and attached with a Dimensional.
I was inspired by the Paper Players.

Thank you, Hilda! I haven’t used that little bird lately, and it deserved a showing!
What a great idea, Su! The DSP that you chose is beautiful, but this idea would work with many others as well. TFS. I always just want to sit down and CASE your card😀
