Curtain Call Inspiration: Sunflowers!

Clearly Besotted is the sponsor for this challenge over at the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge  with a chance to win their own set called: Blooming Marvelous stamps and Die Collection!!  Yahoo!!


I used PTI Simple Sunflower.  First I die cut the circle using a nestability die, then I marked off the circle on the card base and stamped my flowers.  the sentiment is a Hero Arts one that I shaped inside the actual die while it was on the glass block in order to get the sentiment to follow the circle.  I masked the flowers to add the leaves.

And now because I am going to take the new Online Card Class:  Insider, I am paying special attention to the inside of the cards, so here is this one:
It kind of goes with the front of the card sentiment:  amazing friend!!  Oh and I didn't forget to add a flower to the front of the envelope...but of course it was AFTER I cleaned and put the whole set away!!  I am learning, it is just taking me a while..!!

You do want to play along with this Sunflower explosion of cards?  go check it out...

ColourQ Challenge # 206

Sorry for the bad lighting, I have a burned out light above my work space!  This card was made for the ColourQ Challenge # 206 I do not have the exact colors they suggest, but I hope I came close!  I decided to pull out a flower I haven't used in a while and I love this sunflower...and I think it is okay to use many colors for this flower...not to mention hawaiian shores for the leaves!!  BTW, that scarf is gorgeous!!
