Sunflower Fun

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

When I was working on this card, I was not at all happy with it.

I wanted to use Bobby's colors on the Just Us Girls Challenge and they

were not working out for me.

But I persevered and it ended up being one of my favorites.

Thanks Bobby.

I had this NBUS embossing folder out and the Stamptember Chelsea Butterfly had

 just flew into my studio.  I was thinking about the colors from the 

Just Us Girls challenge and got to work.

I sponged some Cajun Craze ink on the raised portions of the embossed sunflowers.

They looked kind of dull and boring so I added some orange ink over the top.

That made a brighter rust color that I liked much better.

There was some bright blue foil in my stash that worked well for the butterfly and

some bits of gold for the edges.  (This butterfly has seven pieces!)

I used an Embosslit Dauber on the center of each flower and used gold

embossing powder to add shine to the flowers.

Narrow strips of gold on each side finished it off.

Challenges:

Just Us Girls #743 - Color Week (Blue, Rust, Gold)

NBUS #66 - Never Before Used Schtuff (Embossing Folder and Die)

Tic Tac Toe - Bottom Row (Multiple sunflowers, Die Cuts, Shine)
