Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
When I prepare for a class, I always seem to end up with a pile of pieces that
I tried and realized they weren't going to work out for one reason or another.
I'm trying to get some of those pieces on a card because my UFO box is
way too full. The embossed piece and sunflower were in that pile and they just
happened to fit together very well.
When I saw this card by my friend Michele (I Card Everyone), I didn't waste
any time getting the embossing folder into my basket!
After embossing, I colored the centers. I started out using a sponge dauber but
switched to a cotton swab when I saw that I was coloring more than I wanted.
The sunflower was cut from a page on last month's calendar.
The little bee was hanging out in the butterfly box. He's been stamped, smacked
with VersaMark and clear embossed before being fussy cut.

What a beautiful, sunny, cheery card Bonnie! I love that embossing folder, loved it when Michele used it. She is good at enabling isn't she?! lol Love how you "recycled" your sweet sunflower and bee. The embossed panel and "recycled" sunflower do indeed goes well together. Love this beautiful card! Hugs, Brenda
Sometimes you just know when something is going to become a favorite supply - that embossing folder is so happy living with you! Just look how cute this is! I'll be remembering the Q-tip trick! Your sunflower with its no-line coloring is the star of the show, Bonnie - gave me smiles, for sure! BEE-U-tiful! xx

Fabulous embossing folder and yes I saw Michele's amazing card too and loved it and I love yours too Bonnie. The sunflower and your colouring looks fabulous and extra loving that little bee that came out to play x.
Beautiful!! Love the big sunflower over the embossed background. The cute little bee is a great addition. TFS
Had to chuckle when I read the part about being influenced by Michele to get the embossing folder...I have that same folder and unfortunately have never used it...definitely need to get busy here! But anyway, your card is absolutely BEAUTIFUL Bonnie...LOVE it!! Hugs. :0)
Michele forced me to buy this EF too LOL! Love what you've done with it, Bonnie. That sunflower is incredible too. Pretty card!
Love the coloured sunflower on top of the white embossed ones! A great card!
Love this and LOVE that stamp. I may just have to have that one. I do like the matching embossed background and you did beautiful job adding just a bit of color to it. This is one, gorgeous card, Bonnie!
Love what you did with this, I too have the folder and it needs to come out to play again.
I wish all my UFE 'bits' turned into cards as gorgeous as this one Bonnir - it's outstanding
Blessings

This is so beautiful! And thank you so much for the card I received and your lovely words...
Beautiful, love your coloring!
Beautiful Bonnie and so lovely to have used something from your pile. Love the little bee too xx
These two pieces work perfectly together Bonnie. Love that daisy background embossing ... have the folder and have not used it yet! :) And the sunflower on top is so colourful and full of sunshine. xx
Great items from your UFO box Bonnie, and the embossed daisy background looks so beautiful, and the sunflower is perfect to go over the top with that cute little shiny bee. x
Wow, UFOs never come together like this for me! Maybe you're just better at UFOs :o) Very sweet card, and a perfect fit
Gorgeous dry embossed sunflowers background for your beautiful sunflower main image, Bonnie. TFS Love and Hugs..Nancy
The perfect match and a smart approach to bringing this bloom alive. xx
Don't you love it when pieces fall into place? Yours fell onto a beautiful card, Bonnie. I love the soft background for your sunflower. I have that folder too and was saving its virgin voyage for a challenge later on but I may have to bring it out sooner.
Oooh, it's pretty! All the parts work perfectly together!
A fantastic idea for using an embossed background. I love how you picked up this beautiful flower with its color. This little bee is very cute :-)
xx
So very beautiful! A wonderful combination of elements from your UFO box. Definitely my fave card in the PBSC:)
