Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Today I have two very similar cards.
I cut two sunflowers and colored them with Simon Says ink and blending brushes.
I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with them. The die cuts are quite large and my idea of
using both of them on a card was not working out.
As usual, I went into trial and error mode.
Oops. I got the sentiment too far to the right. It was a good excuse for using
one of these self stick buttons I'd recently bought at a sale by a Stampin' Up! demonstrator.
I believe they are retired but I was able to get two sheets of them.
I was glad I had a second sunflower in the wings.
This time I got the sentiment centered.

Your sweet and thoughtful comments warm my heart!
Both stunning, Bonnie! I might not have even noticed that the sentiment wasn't centered on your first card - I was blinded by the beauty of your pretty sunflower!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful. A brilliant sentiment and perfect splatters. Love that sunflower die too. Well rescued with the button, but I don't think I would have noticed if you hadn't said xx
ReplyDeleteBoth are so wonderful and I do love that sentiment too. The little self stick button gives that first card a special look.

Both of these cards are stunning Bonnie! I am so loving those sunflowers, they are big but they are perfect and even more perfect with that amazing sentiment! It sure doesn't look off centered to me on the first card! Both cards are stunning like I said, that little "button" is adorable and goes well with the first card. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteThey both work beautifully Bonnie! Love the splash of cheerful yellow the sunflower brings! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteLove them both, and just a bit more on the black frame...it really adds a pop.
ReplyDeleteWonderful twofers. I think the black frame helps make it pop more.
ReplyDeleteLove that sentiment! Beautiful sunflower, layout, and splatters to set it off!
ReplyDelete2 gorgeous, sweet and simple cards - even though the sentiment was a bit off center, no one will ever notice. Thanks for joining us at the Beautiful Blossoms Challenge, we hope to see more of your lovely designs soon.

That was a great save! The sentiment is so inspiring and the sunflowers so bright and happy.
ReplyDeleteWell, this worked out just perfectly! I hate to say how many times an embellishment is on one of my cards because something else was poorly placed. I had to scrutinize closely to see anything off balance here. Two lovely cards with great contrast for a fresh and clean look. I love the stamped sprinkles, too!
ReplyDeleteTwo bright and happy cards, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful designs, very polished and classy. Lots of wonderful work here and great take on the challenge. Thanks so much for playing along over at Double D, hope we see you back again soon!
