Rich sunflowers

Good morning! Have you had a chance to google those sunflowers that I talked about a few weeks ago? After that post I pulled up a few more to go with a much darker fall feeling leaf color for this card. Using again the beautiful Sunshine of My Life. See how rich these browns and almost dark red colors look. Wow! Really love how this one card turned out and the colors. The vase is a soft mauve color so that you really focus on the blooms in the vase. 


This plaid like paper was perfect for the card since it matched my colors almost perfectly. Below is what the card looks like when closed since I added the decorative Spellbinders edge to the bottom. A simple button and twine for the corner and some suduko gel pen to the leaves. You can't see it in the photo, but they are there and it adds that final touch. Voila! 


I hope you have a fantastic day!

You've got it goin' on with these sunflowers, Stacy! Wow! I do love these with the rich, dark blooms in the softly colored vase. The color tones are beautiful together. And the plaid is absolutely perfect. Such a pretty finish the edge gives it. Love how you used the button to bring out the color of the vase, too. I'm always happy when you stamp!
