Hi there, what a change in the weather, on Saturday we had blue sky and sunshine, Sunday it was grey, rainy and cold, and yesterday was a bit of a mixture I even put the heating on..... in June, eeeek!! Anyway today's card share features the fab new Sunny Sunflowers stamps from Chocolate Baroque. in traditional sunflower colours to brighten up another grey day.
I coloured the stamps with distress markers, I do love these pens!! The flowers are layered up and I've added stickles for a little sparkle and popped them on some coredinations card that I popped through my trusty cuttlebug and sanded. The bp is from the Essence of Nature cd, sentiment from Chocolate Baroque's Essence of Nature themeplate. All the bps are distressed with my craft knife and matted on kraft card and I've added an organza bow to finish off
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
CD Sunday: Gorgeous green
Crafty Calendar: flowers in bloom
Crafty Cardmakers: Distress it
Diva's by Design: Anything goes
The Perfect Sentiment: Anything goes with a stamped sentiment
Thanks for popping by

Gorgeous sunflowers Claire (and looks like the only 'sun' I'll be seeing today). They look fantastic layered up and that bp is one of my favourites on the cd. A beautiful card.

Super glossy glow on your embossed sentiment & I love your use of black & copper in this - works superbly with the sunflowers.
