Hello! We are back with another Countdown to Creativity post before launching our September My Monthly Hero Kit and add-ons on Tuesday, September 5th, at 1pm Eastern/10am Pacific. Release day is Tuesday, one day later than usual due to the Labor Day holiday. We’ll be here throughout the long weekend, sharing ideas for using both the main kit, as well as new optional add-on products that will be available on Tuesday. And don’t forget to comment on each and every Countdown post - we’ll be giving away a kit on Tuesday morning, before the kit launches! Now join Amy as she shares a card made using this month's kit.
Have you been enjoying all the Countdown To Creativity posts as much as I am? September's kit is amazing and is a great way to welcome Fall.
I managed to use a couple different ink layering color combinations for this card. Let's start with the background blooms. They seem slighted muted in color, don't they? I decided to put a vellum panel on top of it so that the single sunflower image could be the star of the show. The background sunflower blooms stamped with:
Lemon Yellow - Butter Bar - Tangerine
center
My card is 3.5 x 5.5 inches. I cut a panel from the Pool Mix Layering Papers pack in the same size and then used one of the Rectangle Infinity Dies to create a frame. The sentiment has been stamped with Cup O' Joe and Butter Bar.
The focal point is the single sunflower that has been stamped with:
Lemon Yellow - Pale Tomato - Red Royal
The center inks are the same as the background sunflowers. The stalk is:
Without the vellum panel, the solo sunflower was getting lost in the background.
Win a kit before you can buy it! Just leave a comment on this (and every) Countdown to Creativity post!

OMG It is so beautiful, I love this idea, can’t wait to use this technique myself.
What a lovely card! Love how you used the vellum over the background flowers to make the one flower the focal point. Thank you for the chance to win!
I just can’t get enough of the sunflowers. What a beautiful card. Sunflowers have the ability to just brighten up anyone’s day!
Love the softer look of the background flowers Amy. The sunflower is definitely my favorite element of this kit.
Love the sunflower. The colors you chose are just beautiful. Looking forward to this kit.
Stunning card- love your color choices.
How lovely. I would not have thought of using vellum to mute backgrounds. Thank you for introducing me to this idea.
These colors are lovely together. The panel of vellum really did make the sunflower in front just take center stage.
The vellum is a really nice touch. Such a lovely card.
I really like this sunflower image.
