Doodlebugs – Grateful for Fall

***Sorry friends, I had this scheduled for the wrong day so it’s publishing a day late.***

Hey friends! This week for Doodlebugs Mix it up Monday, I’m really feeling the fall vibes. I have been itching to play with these Lawn Fawn Sunflower dies since I got them and today it just felt perfect!

Instead of using colored cardstock for the petals, stems and leaves I used distress oxide and spritz sprays to add color to white cardstock. It gives great texture, shimmer and depth. After the panels were dry from spraying them, I cut out the pieces and used liquid glue to assemble everything.

I cut a red background panel at 4×5.25 inches and ink blended the Pretty Pink Posh Deco Leaves stencil over top with darker red ink. Then I ink blended the edges for depth before adding it to a white card base.

Next I popped up my sunflowers with foam squares. Then stamped and die cut a sentiment using the Pretty Pink Posh Sentiment Strips stamps and dies. I glued the layers together and popped it up over the stems with foam strips.

For finishing touches on the design I glued a scattering of brown flat sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.

Here’s a close up look at the texture on the sprayed sunflower parts. I love them!
