I found this beautiful large flower in my snippets box that was recycled from a card I received. It was too pretty to throw away and I decided to make a birthday card with it. I also found those 2 previously cut green leaves in the box along with the flower, so I paired them up. The sentiment was previously heat-embossed with white on some dark brown cardstock, so I used that snippet too. The background was cut from white with a Lawn Fawn stitched windy day die. My snippets box is a wee bit lighter today, but I have a long way to go before I use up all those bits I've saved through the years :)
I'm sharing this with these challenges:
The Snippets Playground Challenge #435 - must use snippets
Dies R Us Challenge #199 - summer
(must use dies sold in their store - Lawn Fawn background die
Thanks for stopping by and I wish you a wonderful Sunday!

I missed a few days of blogging and you got way ahead of me. I love the lilac card and the flower and gorgeous sun card previously posted. I have those Lil' Inker sun dies too. I see why you wanted to save this flower, it is so pretty. I like that background die too. Great job using up snippets.
Fabulous flower, deserved to be used
A lovely background for your gorgeous recycled sunflower. Great card.
Thanks for bring your homework along to the Snippets Playground. I will definitely watch out for slide splinters! If you're having trouble sleeping, perhaps you should down a few cocktails and drift off in the hammock strung up below the treehouse! Don't worry about your back, you'll be fine! xxx
Very pretty card, Carol! Hope you have a nice weekend!
What a great finds in your box to create this lovely card!
Beautiful card great recycling and the die-cut leaves go perfectly

Wow, that is such a beautiful flower and I don't blame you for wanting to recycle that one! It looks like it was made to fit with your whirly stitched die cut background too! Beautiful card and nicely done making your snippet box a tad bit lighter too! Thanks for the inspiration friend!
I love this pretty flower! And I love all of the texture on this card. Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches this week!
I love your card, Carol.
How pretty!
Hugs and blessings!
Sunflowers always make smile, such a happy flower. Love your oversized one. Thanks for playing at AAA Birthday, hope to see you join in with future challenges too. Stay safe and keep crafting!
Gorgeous card, Carol!!! That sunflower die is one of my favorites and worthy of being saved from the trash!! I love the background and your pretty diecut leaves! Your efforts have created a beautiful birthday card for the upcoming fall season! Well done, my friend!!! :)
Perfect image from recycle for the sketch! Thanks for joining in at AAA birthday
Beautiful use of the sketch. Looks like it was saved just for this! So glad you joined us this week at FMS!
You made so well saving this lovely flower and upcycling it!! It's gorgeous and the two leaves (Creative Expressions, they seem) match perfectly with it! The windy background is very pretty, love this style of pinpoint backgrounds and this one makes me think to September that is just on the next door. Great take of the sketch, too!
Using the bits you hoarded in the year is a great project! An example to follow for sure, I have to do the same but it will take me some years! LOL :D!
Sending you big hugs and best thoughts as always dear friend! Enjoy your days the most you can!
A beautiful card Carol, that gorgeous sunflower certainly is to pretty to throw away and your background is lovely.
