I have 3 cards to share with you all today made with this lovely sunflower set.


My first card uses masking to get a row of sunflowers and I used a border punch to echo the sunny shape and feel.

My second card just embossing on the background to show off the sunflower with bees.   I actually had to pop to my local wool shop to get the yellow ribbon as there was no yellow to be found in my stash.
This is a close up of the embossed bees!



My last card uses the sunny yellow card I used on card one as a border for the main panel.  

I stamped and embossed before colouring.  The matt layer is brown.

    Janine,
    Three beautiful cards! Your first card reminds me of a lovely field of sunflowers; your second card really highlights the image and the EF is awesome; and, your third card is my favorite - as it is so bright and happy. Three very lovely and elegant cards!!
