Sunflower Thanks

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

Wow, this month has sped by and I'm just under the wire for a couple of challenges.


My friend Nance and I recently had a playdate and this came from one of the
beautiful embossing folders she brought.

I embossed it with Strathmore watercolor paper so I could watercolor, then
colored with my Zigs and a waterbrush.

Feeling very Fallish these days, I pulled out my copper foil for the sentiment
and some little punched dots.

I don't know what took me so long to get this done.
Too many fun things to do and so little time!

Challenges:

Stamps:  
Ink:   
Paper:  Watercolor (Strathmore 300 series), Neenah Natural, Copper Foil
