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 Four Seasons August 2023 Challenge - A/G summer
The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge - A/G with flowers *optional mood board
The Triple B August Challenge - Birds, Blooms, Butterflies, 1, 2 or all 3
the Double D Challenge - Sunflowers

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!
