With the war in Ukraine entering its second month, it has been weighing heavily on my mind still. I am still in awe of the bravery of the Ukrainian people, but I am also in awe of all those who are reaching out to help in any way they can. Even in the worst of times, the beacon of kindness and humanity shines brightly--but we still need more of that kindness!
I made an inked sunflower card about strength previously, but this time I wanted to try a stenciled card. I chose this particular stencil from Simon Hurley because it reminds me of a flower. Now let's get into this easy and quick tutorial.
I started out by stenciling a sheet of blue and a sheet of yellow Pops of Color, using two of the newest colors from Scrapbook.com. Once those were dry, I cut out a strip of the yellow. I attached the blue background to a card and then used some foam adhesive to attach the yellow strip to the blue.
I again used the seasonal sketch die from Tim Holtz to create my sunflower. This time I used a warm yellow cardstock and a yellow-gold glitter cardstock, cutting three of each. I shaped these die cuts and glued them together.
I added some brown gems to the center of the flower and glued it onto the card front using Glossy Accents. I added a sentiment sticker about kindness, popping it up with a strip of foam adhesive. And remember, art is never useless. Art is comfort. Art is voice. Art is protest.
