I used this big bold sunflower from Robyn's Fetish for my card and moved leaves around on this until I was blue in the face! I printed out the image a couple of times, colored it in Copics, and then separated the leaves from the flower. No matter where I put the leaves then they looked a little wonky. The background paper is from Doodle Bug Design and the sentiment was in a Simon Says Stamp kit. I mounted the sentiment on a strip of burlap and then added the twine.
UPDATE on the bridal shower invitations! Believe it or not, I finally finished all of them - and never want to see another one as long as I live! Mass production is not my cup of tea I don't guess. Too boring! I'll post a picture of one of the cards tomorrow.
Thanks for stopping by.........and be sure and check out Tuesday Throwdown this week and enter our challenge.

The Journey is the Start
This is a beautiful card Lynn and I love how you have colored that big beautiful sunflower!! I think your leaves look great but I can relate to moving things around trying to get them to look right. But I'm telling you the leaves don't look wonky now! Now I have to tell you like I told Carol, this mellow yellow stuff has brought back all kind of memories to me. lol Remember the mellow yellow song?? And the mellow yellow drink??? Am I dating myself?!! lol Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteThis card looks great...and I love that your photo of it is on that barn wood looking background!
ReplyDeleteThe burlap for the sentiment is perfect...so suits this great card.
This sunflower looks great - leaves and all! I love the tiny flowers in the background, as well as that burlap panel & sentiment! NJ!

A beautiful sunflower and I think a perfect placement of leaves! I love that bright sunny background and the burlap and twine that I think are so perfect with sunflowers!
ReplyDeleteMmm-Good. Brillant sunflower and your leaves don't look wonky to me. I like the way one of them edges off the white base. Also loving the digi yellow paper and your touch of the twine & burlap were perfect with the rustic sunflower. Another great design, carried out beautifully. Very summery. TFS & Hugs
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, I like the bold sunflower and how beautifully it pops over the yellow BG :)
ReplyDeleteI think the leaves are perfect! I love the burlap under the sentiment too, and how you've coloured the sunflower. It just POPS!
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely and vibrant too!!! I am in love with that image and everything you did from the DP, the burlap, and the twine!
ReplyDeleteI just love this! The pretty paper compliments this glorious sunflower perfectly. I also really like that strip of burlap.
