Sunflowers are blooming around here. They seem to love the hot Summer temps!
That's what Poppystamps is looking for this month.
I've die cut this gorgeous sunflower and colored it with Zigs and let the
color run off onto a piece of watercolor paper. For good measure, I've spritzed the
colored flower and pressed it face down on the background too. You can watch
Kathy Racoosin do this technique here.
Sunflowers always make me smile. I hope this makes you smile too!
A big thank you to Poppystamps for my win last month.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

This is a great looking sunflower -- makes a statement! And, yes, the sunflowers are exploding around here...so colorful.
This has got to be the most beautiful sunflower die I’ve seen and what an amazing job you did with this. You have the greatest collections of stamps and dies. Bonnie and always use them so wonderfully. I just love this one!
Bonnie, thanks for this beautiful reminder to try that technique - again! I didn't have nearly these beautiful results!
Hey! I even have that sunflower!

Beautiful card with that technique and lovely sunflower. The sunflower is very different and lovely. TFS
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL card Bonnie! I love that Sunflower die cut and you've colored it beautifully with your Zigs! LOVE your background too and definitely need to try that technique again...you and Kathy make it look so easy!! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! P.S. You should enter this card into the Double D Challenge for Sunflowers! :0)
I don't care where you shop - this die is sold out!
Gorgeous card Bonnie - love the background. I am working on 3 cards now with the same kind of background only I made the background with a stamp not a die.
One of your very best cards and the background is perfect with this die.

What a fabulous card and fabulous technique. Hugs Mrs A.
I still haven't tried that technique but I love how it looks with your beautiful sunflower, Bonnie. Those colorful, happy flowers would make anyone smile.
This is a stunning card Bonnie! I love this sunflower die and you have watercolored it beautifully. I love that you used some of the color from it to do your background as well. Will have to watch Kathy R. do that in the video you linked. I love sunflowers too, love when I see a whole field of them. They used to plant whole fields of them around here, but not for a long time now. I miss them. Yes, they do make you smile don't they?!! Hugs, Brenda
Sunshine on a card and it sure made me smile Bonnie x. The technique looks fabulous x.
that certainly is a wonderful sunflower :), love the delicate print background from the die cut :)
I love sunflowers too - there are lots of them down at the barn including incredibly tall ones. They make me happy just looking at them. You've created a beautiful one - love the pressed die on the background.
Gorgeous!
I'm loving all these sunflowers I see around, and your is fantastic! Love the bg technique again and your flower is so pretty
A beautiful print and that sunflower is stunning. Congratulations on your win from Poppy Stamps. This die is awesome!
Love that die and the loose splattery background is just perfect xx
That die is so unusual and your card is so beautiful!
OK well this is definitely a must try. That background is awesome and the perfect match for that beautiful Sunflower. Beautiful!
Such a wonderful big bloom and I love the artsy background with the smooshing! Thanks for playing along with us at Poppystamps!
A beautiful card with your amazing background in this stunning technique. I love colors, full of sunshine

Fabulous sunflower bloom, Bonnie! It made me smile. :-)
