Hello Sunshine!

Hi everyone.  It's already over half way through the month, so here's a reminder card for the CAS Watercolour August Challenge - Sunflower.  This month's challenge is being hosted by my wonderful teammate, Marcia.


I used a NBUS (never-before-used-schtuff). :)  I recently bought this fun set.  I though this whimsical sunflower pot would like cute as a tag.  I stamped the image in permanent black ink onto Bristol paper (having fun experimenting as I've not used this type of paper before), watercoloured with zigs, added yellow gingham paper at the bottom and die-cut into a tag.  To finish I added a small sentiment tag and some twine.

Here's a close-up ...
I hope you'll check out the reminder post for the challenge blog to see a new set of inspiring cards from our Designers and wonderful Guest Designer, Izzy!  If you haven't had a chance to play along yet, there's still lots of time before the challenge closes at midnight Aug. 24th (PDST).

Hope to see you in the gallery!






Stamps:  Our Friendship Grows (Lawn Fawn); A Little Sentimental (Clearly Besotted)
Paper:  Bristol paper (Strathmore 2 ply); White card base (Neenah 110 lb.); yellow gingham patterned paper (unknown)
Ink:  Versafine Black; Zigs
Accessories & Tools:  water brush, Pinpoint Main Street Tag (Poppy Stamps); Lemondrop twine (The Twinery)

    What an adorable little sunflower in a pot! Looks like it's sitting on a gingham tablecloth! Great idea to have it on a tag with the perfect matching baker's twine.

    This is such a wonderful example of your clean and crisp style, Loll! Love the beautiful shading. I also think you will love Bristol as much as some of us do. This is one of those cards that says "cheerful" and those are always the most welcome by recipients.

    This is so cute and lovely, Loll! Your little sunflower makes me smile. The pretty little "hello" tag, yellow twine, and the yellow gingham for the sunflower is like earrings, necklace and pretty shoes for a girl (like us)! Hideko xx
