Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I love the colors of Fall and enjoy using them on cards.
I had long admired cards done with this stamp but missed getting the set before it
was retired. A friend had it and we worked out a swap. I'm so happy we did!
I love the way it stamps.
For this card, I paired it with the Fern 3D embossing folder, added a bit of textured ribbon
and a bow from linen thread. It makes a perfect card for a Fall Birthday!
For this card, I used a layout I'd seen online and added a die cut fern to the background.
I've also stacked the die cut Thankful on the pumpkin cardstock for a bit of contrast.

Gorgeous cards Bonnie
Two beautiful cards with this set. Love the colors you used and the layouts. TFS
I can see why you were anxious to get hold of this beautiful sunflower stamp Bonnie and glad you and a friend were able to swap so you could have it, and both cards are gorgeous using it. The 3D Fern EF and the die cut fern are both great, and the ribbon and twine embellishments on the first, and then added stamped ferns with the flowers on the second, together with the light and dark peachy tones for the matted layers on both are so elegant and pretty..lovely sentiments too. x
It's my first look at this lovely and I am shaking my head wondering why companies retire such gorgeous stamps! So happy you got your hands on it, Bonnie - LOve the Autumn colors you've chosen for those petals!
Both renditions are gorgeous - mighty happy to see you in our birthday gallery at The Flower Challenge! x

So glad you were able to swap and make these cards with that beautiful flower, Bonnie. I love the soft color and adding ferns, both embossed and die cut, to the background added wonderful texture. Thanks for sharing with us at The Flower Challenge.
Swapping is a wonderful way to get new stamps. Wouldn't it be great if we could all do that. These two cards are so beautiful and they do show off their fall colors. The shading is gorgeous.
Pretty colors and pretty cards. Love the embossing on both too.

I was just thinking that I needed to get this pretty flower inky, and here you are with a perfectly lovely version of it, not once, but twice! Love them!
Two awesome Fall cards Bonnie, and thanks for the reminder that I have this stamp set too and should probably pull it out and show it some love!! Fall colors are almost at peak by us right now and are just absolutely GORGEOUS this year...and your beautiful cards fit right in! Fall colors really are the best!! Hugs. :0)
I can see why you had to have this stamp, Bonnie. You have really made it shine with these two beautiful fall cards, my friend. xx
Your love for the stamp shines through in your fabulous cards. A pairing meant to be.
I love both of these Bonnie and LOVE the colors you chose. This is so beautifully done and I bow to those of you that can successfully stack die cut sentiments. I love that stamp too!
You made a good swap with your friend, Bonnie this is a marvelous set! I love both versions dolled up in those lovely fall colors!
Absolutely beautiful! I remember seeing this SU stamp set and thinking how realistic it looks with very little effort. However, you have accomplished these cards in such a creative style and it take some effort and skill and talent to do that. I adore both cards! Thanks for sharing with us at Double D!
Wow, both beautiful. Love the embossed backgrounds.
Lovely autumn colours on your two beautiful cards!
A beautiful stamp Bonnie, and so beautifully used on these stunning cards!
Blessings

Hi Bonnie, that really is one gorgeous stamp and I just love how your used it on both cards.. the colours are wonderful and the designs using the embossed background and die cut leaf to enhance them..hugs Robyn
Two Gorgeous stamped and colored sunflower card designs, Bonnie. I love your dry embossed fern background, coloring and sweet twine bow and strip of burlap on your 1st card. Your 2nd card design is a classic and perfect for your stamped flowers and beautifully colored flowers. TFS both beauties, my friend. Love and Hugs..Nancy

Two beautiful cards with this watercolor-look stamp, Bonnie! Love the warm fall colors and the design variation! The dimension and the orange layers of the die-cut sentiment of the 2nd card is wonderful!
