Sunflowers

I love sunflowers and sometimes grow them in a row in my garden.  This year my neighbor had some growing in a flower bed and she expressed to me her love of these beautiful flowers.  When I purchased this stamp and die for making them I immediately thought of her.  So when I finished this card I gave it to her.





I love these flowers and you will be seeing more of these in my future!  The flower stamp and die are from Heartfelt Creations and there is even a sweet little lady bug as well.  I mixed up a batch of pretties to make the flower centers.  I used Gold Gala Glitz, some gold seed beeds and some glitter then I dropped in some brown ink and colored it all up.  I love the look it made and will be making some more of that for sure.

Well that does it for me this morning.  We are about to run right into another weekend so I hope you get to do something you love!
