I really liked this Sunflower from Bev's BEAUtanicals range. I used to grow sunflowers from seed in the garden at my last house along the fence at the bottom of the garden and they always cheered me up when I went down there and saw them, so I had to buy this stamp. (New Years resolution not to buy anything until at least April just disappeared.....😞😞)
I stamped on watercolour card and used distress inks.
This is quite a large stamp (about 6") but seeing many examples of flowers tucked behind a die frame I thought I would do the same with my happy Sunflower.
I added the simple sentiment stamp - probably unnecessary as who couldn't smile when they saw a pretty flower?!
I resisted doing any other colouring or stamping on the textured card base as I just wanted the Sunflower to take centre stage.
As this is a new stamp I am sharing this make over at the Flower Challenge and also at
Crafty Catz - A/G Keep it Simple

Your sunflower certainly does take centre stage and looks perfect. I used to plant sunflowers with the kids each year and we would have a competition to see whose sunflower grew the tallest. Now I just give the seeds to the birds!! Hugs Mrs A.

Sunflowers do seem to lift one's spirits and make you smile, Viv. I love yours peeking through the circle. Thanks for sharing your card with us at The Flower Challenge.
ReplyDeleteSunflowers do raise a smile and I like the way yours is peeping out of the circle.
