Loveliest Sunflower

Hello and welcome to this months TGIF Challenges Sketch Challenge!  Knowing that I was going to be in Anaheim for OnStage when this challenge went live, I worked a bit ahead. When I made this card, we were still having some nice warm fall weather.  When I left home yesterday, it was 24 degrees...not so warm anymore!  But this sunflower certainly gives a warm, sunny vibe!

As soon as I saw this sketch, I knew that I wanted to pair the sunflower with the Hello Harvest bundle.  Don't they work together beautifully?  

Some texture was added with the Gingham embossing folder, along with a few Amber Gems and a bit of Linen Thread.

As I mentioned earlier, I'm in Anaheim this weekend and what does one do when they are in Anaheim...go to Disneyland, of course!  I'm off with some of my favorite stampin' people to spend the day at one of the happiest places on earth!

Happy Stamping!

Dandy Garden Sunflower

 Hi friends and welcome to an all new Hand Stamped Sentiments Challenge!  This week we have a summer-fun color challenge for you to play along with!

I am all about flowers this time of year and immediately thought of Celebrate Sunflowers.  It's been a while since I've used this stamp set and it's coordinating Sunflowers Dies, so I was happy to pull it out.  I was even more happy to pair it up with the cheerful Dandy Garden DSP!

I love it when a die-cut image can make the entire card!  Only the sweet and simple sentiment was stamped.  The rest is just some pretty paper, some fun gingham ribbon and a little bit of bling.

I love to mix patterns, which you can clearly tell by this card.  Is it too much?!?!?

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you will join along and share your summer-fun colorful creation with us!

Happy Stamping!
