Fall Flowers
When most people think about flowers they think about spring and summer. But, flowers are not over when summer ends. There are some really gorgeous fall flowers.
When the various colors of mums begin to show up at shops around town, I get a little excited. But, I have to say my favorite fall flowers are sunflowers. I prefer the classic golden yellow with brown centers, but I know other varieties now exist.
What’s your favorite fall flower?
Card Details
This card features fall flowers. It is perfect for anything you need a card for during the fall. The Sunflower Fields Suite gives lots of options to create projects with beautiful fall flowers.
For this card, the Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper creates a nice background layer for the cascading bundles of fall flowers. The DSP pattern chosen is a Cajun Craze monochrome pattern with sunflowers in cream or various shades of Cajun Craze. Then the bundle of flowers from the Radiant Sunflowers stamp set is stamped, cut out with the dies, and then colored in using Stampin’ Blends.
Then, the second floral bundle was fussy cut from the Glow of Harvest Specialty Designer Series Paper and added to the front of the card and a floral bundle was added to the inside of the card. Photos don’t do this paper justice. It has a nice shimmer to it that sparkles in the sun.
The Glow of Harvest Specialty DSP was August’s product of the month. And, as I write this, it is still available. So, if you place a Stampin’ Up!® order of $75 or more (before tax and shipping), you can add it to your cart for only $5.00.

Angel, I agree with you about those gorgeous Sunflowers, but I have a new favorite because of our interest in ‘blooming’ Monarch butterflies! Ageratum! BONUS: they bloom from Spring to Fall in a gorgeous blue-purple that the butterflies just flock to! I had SEVEN Monarchs having breakfast this morning!
I adore your card, the colors of Fall, and pretty panel, too! Thanks so much for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
