Sunflower Birthday Card


 This birthday card has been sent and received so it's time to share it. I used a SSS sunflower die, adding some color with Copics to the colored cardstock, and embossing the center with a swiss dots ef. The scalloped curvy border die is from SSS and the papers are (r) from SU!. The little dragonfly and butterfly were done with Sweet n Sassy Stamps and I added a couple gemstones just for fun.

I'll enter this card into the following challenges:



The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge - A/G with flowers *optional mood board


The Triple B August Challenge - Birds, Blooms, Butterflies, 1, 2 or all 3





Thanks for stopping by and may you have a great day filled with lots of fun things to do.

Carol

Very pretty coloring on the colored card stock. It makes the sunflower pop! Great design with the bottom edging like that and I love the tiny dragonfly and butterfly. Very pretty birthday card Carol.

What a beautiful card Carol! I love the different pattern papers in your design with the sunflower popped up through them as if it's growing over that scalloped hillside! The flower is so pretty too and I love the shading you've done with your coloring of it!
