Sunflowers

I used one of the sponsor's adorable images for today's card.  Here we have sunflowers blooming from early summer until late fall ... so thought a fall sunflower was perfect for this challenge.  I paper pieced the dress and flower pot ... all other sections are colored with Copics.  I've added just a little Crystal Effects to the flower in her hair for added dimension and shine.  Unfortunately, after coloring and paper piecing my image, I went to stamp the sentiment and slipped with my stamp ---- :(  Luckily this doesn't happen to me very often, so I'm thankful for that :)  To salvage, I simply fussy-cut out the whole image and popped it up on a new card front - SAVE! :)
