Cheery Sunflowers

By Sandie Goble

This card was inspired by a previous com-

petition winning card (Hazel Gowers, Summer

2000) although I have used a completely different

method to produce the flowers. The centres of

the sunflowers are made from black sandpaper

for texture but get the paper backed type if you

can as the fabric backed kind is impossible to

cut through!

Materials Required:

Natural banana paper 14cm square or any

Natural coloured hand made paper with

added ‘plant bits’ will do.

Scraps of Dark Green mulberry paper: M09A4.

Black sandpaper 3cm x 8cm.

Brown corrugated card 5cm x 12cm.

Small amount of Yellow corrugated card.

keeping them a little away from the edges of the

paper at each side, fix them into place.

Garden collage sheet: CS003.

Small scissors or craft knife.

Cut three thin stems about 4.5cm long and

3mm wide from green mulberry paper. Using

the glue stick, glue one stem centrally onto each

pot making sure not to leave any gap between

the stem and pot. Tear out six rough leaf shapes,

two for each sunflower and stick them into place

using the glue stick.

An ‘office type’ single hole paper punch.

Glue stick, ADH07 and extra tacky glue, ADH02.

Card mount: DEC6U-56, Textura Ivory.

To Make The Card:

Roughly tear the banana paper to 12cm

square, and stick it centrally onto the card using

the glue stick, don’t overdo the glue as banana

paper is fairly transparent.

Cut out three 15mm diameter circles from the

black sandpaper using an old pair of scissors and

stick onto the stems using dots of hi-tack glue.

The petals are made from the punched circles

from an ordinary hole-punch. I tried using a dou-

ble punch but mine bent the edges of the ‘petals’

too much, the single punch didn’t do this. The

amount of punchings that you will need depends

on the size of the punch, which may vary slight-

ly. Arrange the petals first around the sandpaper

middles before sticking so you can see how they

need to be spaced. When you are happy with the

arrangement, stick down using hi-tack glue.

Use the flowerpot diagram to make a tem-

plate if required, or just use it as a guide to cut

3 flowerpots from brown corrugated card.

Using hi-tack glue,

fix the first pot onto

the banana paper

approx. 2cm from the

bottom of the card

and centrally from

side to side. Arrange

the other two pots so

that they line up with

the middle one and

Actual Size

Lastly, decorate with items cut from one of

the garden collage sheets, I have used a snail and

butterfly and there are several other items on the

sheet which would look just as good.
