Beautiful Sunflower Card Tutorial 🌻 With Video

Today we’re making a stunning sunflower card using embossing folders, sponge daubers, and ink blending. This technique creates a bold, textured look that really makes the sunflowers pop.

Measurements

• Card Base: Secret Sea – 4 ¼" x 11", scored at 5 ½"

• Layer 1: Crushed Curry – 4 ⅛" x 5 ⅜"

• Layer 2: Basic White – 4" x 5 ¼" (x2)

• Accent Strip: Basic White – 1" x 4"

• Sentiment Strip: Secret Sea – ¾" x 3"

Instructions

Step 1: Adhere the Crushed Curry layer to the Secret Sea card base.

Step 2: Emboss one of the 4" x 5 ¼" Basic White pieces with the Sunflower 3D embossing folder.

Step 3: On the debossed side, lightly drag the Secret Sea ink pad across the surface. Repeat in the opposite direction with Pecan Pie ink. Use a light hand so the texture shows through.

Step 4: Color with sponge daubers:

• Petals → Crushed Curry

• Leaves → Mossy Meadow

• Flower centers → Crumb Cake + Early Espresso

Step 5: Repeat this same process on the 1" x 4" Basic White strip.

Step 6: Adhere the decorated strip to the second 4" x 5 ¼" Basic White layer for the inside of your card.

Step 7: Stamp your greeting onto the ¾" x 3" Secret Sea strip with Versamark ink. Heat emboss with white embossing powder.

Step 8: Die cut the sentiment using Stylish Shapes banner die and adhere to the card front.

Step 9: Finish by scattering a few 2025–2027 In Color Flat Pearls across the card front.

Here are some other samples I have for you using the same technique.
