Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Sunflowers always make me smile.
This die is particularly pretty and I couldn't resist it.
It was cut from leftover bits of yellow, green and brown cardstock.
I added some depth by sponging more color at the base of the petals and
outside of the leaves and then shaping the petals.
I paired it with the Basket of Sunflowers embossing folder and it seemed
to be lost. So I cut a label and embossed it with the Subtle embossing folder,
outlined the label with some of the yellow ink and popped it over the embossed
sunflowers. The card is a Monarch size (7 1/4" x 3 3/4").
Challenges:
Double D - Sunflowers
Triple B - Birds, Blooms & Butterflies (the blooms are covered)

Gorgeous sunflower! The added ink really brings it to life. The details in the petals are amazing. Love the embossing folder too. Thanks for sharing at the Double D, "Sunflower" Challenge.
So very beautiful, Bonnie! and you've taught me a new card size: Monarch? Who knew!
Speaking of - our last Monarch emerged and took his first flight yesterday but there were three of his friends also flitting about the Mexican Sunflowers! The Warblers are arriving, too! Gotta love this time of year!

Beautiful card with that pretty sunflower. Love the shading on the flower petals and leaves, it really makes it stand out. The embossing is pretty and I can see why you needed to add the label for the sunflower. The wavy sentiment is perfect.
Your delightful sunflower fills this card beautifully, Bonnie! This is is so cheerful!
A beautiful sunflower and that label with the inking really shows it off. Great card!
That sentiment is perfect with the happy sunflower, Bonnie. It looks perfect on the label die on a Monarch card.
Your card is perfect for bringing smiles and imaginary hugs! The yellow outline worked wonders to showcase your sunflowers
That is a gorgeous sunflower and such a beautiful embossed background to go with it Bonnie, and the label you placed it on with the inked edge gives it wonderful definition. x
Bonnie, you do know how to grab my attention with your beautiful cards! I saw this in the DD gallery and it stopped me in my tracks. Beautiful detailed sunflower die, cute sentiment and banner, and gorgeous embossed background. I've been shopping too much this month, but now I'll have to look up the sentiment set. It's neverending. Thank you for joining us at Double D!
Sensational sunflowers. Wonderful design and looks great with the embossed sunflowers, too.
Great design on a slimline card! Lovely sunflowers!
Sunflowers make me happy too Bonnie...it's hard not to smile when you see them, and I'm definitely smiling at yours! I love your embossed background too...soooo pretty and perfect for this card! Hugs. :0)
This one is wonderful and love the rich dimension it has. Once again you shaded it perfectly. And no clue how you got that neat yellow edge on that background die cut but it's perfect for this. Love that sentiment too.
Gorgeous sunflower and I love the label and embossed background too, Bonnie!!
Oh my goodness Bonnie - this is absolutely stunning!! A great sunflower themed creation
Blessings
