Sunflower Kisses

Hi....Lynda Joy here with a card for your Sunday inspiration!  

FRAMED SUNFLOWER  
SUNFLOWER SENTIMENTS 

I love sunflowers!  Did you know that sunflowers always keep their corolla faced upwards, toward the sun?  Yep, it's true.  I guess that's why they're called sunflowers!

I stamped the FRAMED SUNFLOWER stamp onto bristol vellum paper, and water colored it with my watercolor paints.  I brushed some distress ink along the edges to distress it a bit.  I cut the panel with a stitched rectangle frame, and added it to a green panel, then onto a brown panel, and finally onto an A2 card front.

I stamped the verse from the SUNFLOWER SENTIMENTS SET onto another panel, distressed the edges, and added it to the card front with foam tape.

Some gold sequins finish off the card front.

I hope you are inspired by my card today.  

The days here are getting shorter, and a bit cooler.  Some of the summer visiting geese have begun their migration to warmer climes.  My garden is beginning to wane, colors less intense, and brown edges on some plants and blooms.  As much as I love my garden, and the long summer days spent there, I also love, love, love fall and all it's glory!  

So, I will enjoy these last few weeks of summer.  I hope you will also.  And let's welcome the next season with anticipation and hope in our hearts!  Change is good...it helps us appreciate what we have had, and gives us opportunities for growth.
