Fall Sunflower Surprise with the Magic Iris!

 Hello and welcome! Today's card features Lawn Fawn's Magic Iris Sunflower Add-On. This gorgeous add-on allows you to create a beautiful sunflower that can be used on its own or with the Magic Iris die set. 

For this card I started with an A2 sized card using Lawn Fawn's Ground Coffee cardstock. I die cut an orange background from MFT Orange Zest cardstock and the MFT A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX in the largest size. 

Then using heavy weight smooth white cardstock, I die cut the front panel with Lawn Fawn's Magic Iris Add-On dies. 

I then used the Lawn Fawn Fall Leaves Stencil and various Distress Oxide inks in fall colors and created the background that the sunflower will sit on. 

I die cut the sunflower out from yellow cardstock and with my Copic markers, added some detail to the flower. I used Lawn Fawn's Stitched Flower Frame to create the leaves around the sunflower. I die cut these from MFT Limelight cardstock and added some dimension with Copic markers. 

I die cut the word Grateful from Lawn Fawn's Scripty Autumn Sentiments twice from Ground Coffee cardstock and glued them together. Then I stamped the word Grateful with VersaMark ink and used gold embossing powder on top. 

I die cut a second sunflower using the Ground Coffee cardstock to make the center piece. I stamped the "You Make Me Smile" sentiment from Lawn Fawn's Magic Messages using VersaMark ink and embossed it with white embossing powder. 

I die cut the "sausage" pieces from the Magic Iris using the same Ground Coffee cardstock but cut the circular pieces from white cardstock. If I make this again, I will cut everything from the brown cardstock as you can see a bit of the white poking through, and I didn't like that. 

I just love how this card turned out. The Magic Iris die is one of my favorites and I have made several cards using it. It's just so fun to pull the arm down to reveal a message or image. 

Thank you so much for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
