Hi everyone. Sharing a card I sent to a friend who has had a very tough summer. I wanted to send her some sunshine to brighten her day. :)
I started with yellow watercolour sprayed background. I die-cut the sunflower from watercolour paper and then used inks to colour. I altered the die-cut slightly by cutting off two petals and rearranging them. I framed the sunflower and stamped a sentiment (masking two sentiments to create this one) in one of the colours of the sunflower to finish the card.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit!

Loll, your friend is sure to appreciate this gorgeous card. I especially like how the flower and frame look together.
This is such an uplifting card, Loll! The sentiment works so well with your beautifully painted sunflower. Love how you combined it to come up with your own sentiment too! Love the variation in colors on the sunflower.

Another beauty, Loll!! Those colors are amazing, and because it's one of my favorite colors, I was drawn to that pretty yellow background right away. Stunning. And that flower is light, airy, and sure to bring a smile to your friend's face. She'll love it as much as I do! So pretty!! Bev
