Hi everyone. After posting a card the other day using the pretty sunflower stamp (Pop Sunflower - Stampendous) - (click HERE to see the card), I decided to make two more. They do make happy cards. :)
The card above uses patterned paper for the background (I'm on a roll!). :) Love this woodgrain paper. Works perfectly with the sunflowers. I watercoloured the flowers in a new-to-me colour combo of Rusty Hinge and Aged Mahogany. Love the colours together. Splattered more of the same two colours in the background. The sentiment is from the same stamp set.
Sending this over to the CAS on Friday Challenge - Flowers.
Thanks for stopping by!

LOve the 'rough sawn' look of your patterned paper, and also the burlap - such fun texture for your sweet sunflowers!

Two beautifully watercolored sunflowers in jar bouquets, Lolly. Love your designer paper on your 1st card and burlap for your 2nd card...perfect for grounding your pretty flowers. Love both sentiments that come with the same set too. TFS the link to the set. I am adding to my wishlist. Love and Hugs..Nancy
Both cards look fabulous Loll. Extra loving the colour combination on your first card and the texture from the burlap on the second x. Such beautiful and happy cards x.
Sunflowers are such cheerful happy cards Lolly and these are no exception! Great job as always. x
Beautiful cards, this is such a happy stamp set. Love the patterned paper on the first design and the colour of the flowers looks amazing, but I think my favourite is your second card, love the bright colours and the added burlap looks fab ..... great texture too!
Loving these bright, beautiful flowers, Lolly! Great rustic look with the patterned paper and I love the burlap with the pretty flowers and lots of white space!
Two more fabulous cards featuring these beautiful sunny sunflowers Loll and love the backgrounds with the woodgrain paper and the the burlap on the second and two different happy sentiments too. x
Absolutely lovely colors on both cards. [Bunny]
Love these two just as much as your original -- wonderful in every color!
Love that woodgrain paper on the first card and the burlap on the second - two great rustic cards!
Gorgeous sunflowers Loll, love the DP behind the first. :)
Love them mf...so summery and pretty.

Sunflowers never fail to make me smile too Loll, and both of these cards are so bright and cheerful with the yellow/orange/red colors and the dsp and burlap. I can see why it was hard to stop at just one card!! Hugs. :0)
I'm am swooning over that first card, Loll. Love, love the woodgrain paper and the Distress colors are ones that I've used and they are fabulous on those sunflowers. Of course they're lovely in the brighter colors too and adding a burlap tablecloth was such a good idea.
The colors of Rusty Hinge and Aged Mahogany look stunning together for sunflowers. The strip of burlap looks pretty on your sunflower card.
I loved your previous sunflowers on that pretty wordprint paper Loll and I adore the next two in your set! I always love the look of wood as a background and it looks fabulous with the splatters. The strip of burlap works brilliantly to ground the jar too. Vicky x
I love to see different cards made with the same stamp, it just shows off the versatility. Bot cards are great but I think I would choose the second as my favourite because I love the burlap xx
Both cards are so well done! I think it's unanimous that we all just love that wood background paper! Wonderful idea to use it with those sunflowers. Maybe one day I'll get the nerve to try and color a class jar and hopefully do as well as you did.
You are right, sunflowers are really happy flowers :)
I love the burlap and DP as backgrounds for that wonderful bunch of sunflowers :)
These are so pretty. Amazing how you achieved organic looks for both with the wood panel and burlap. .
I so love this stamp set, it is indeed a happy, cheerful set! These cards are so beautiful Loll!!! The woodgrain paper on the first one is a perfect background. Loving this color combo that you used to color these beautiful sunflowers and the sentiment is perfect. You second card is equally beautiful, love the burlap table and the colors of these sunflowers too. Makes for a beautiful CAS card! Hugs, Brenda
Both beauties! Loving the different styles here and you can share as many as you want - I love your sunflowers!
The woodgrain paper enhances the rich colors of the sunflowers and the burlap adds nice texture to the card. Both are pretty and happy cards, Loll!

Two lovely cards Loll, using that sweet vase of flowers, loving the different textured backgrounds to show them off, hugs Robyn
This sunflower sign is really beautiful on your cards. I love both versions, each creates a different mood. However, my favorite version is the second card, with the burlap addition it creates a fantastic texture
xx
You know this is one of my favorite new stamp sets and I'm totally smitten with your extra two cards! The wood grain is perfect on the first card and the burlap on the second. Your coloring rocks! Love the sentiments in this set. What a treat! I'm very late to visit, but I think you understand. Hugs!
