Hi everyone. Back with my third set from Stampendous (Pop Sunflower) that I recently bought. I wanted to spread some sunshine and these images certainly do that. :)
I stamped the image in black ink onto mixed media paper and heat embossed in clear; flowers first, then masked the flowers and stamped the jar. Watercoloured with distress inks and then fussy-cut the image. This is another save card. I had added a shadow to the bottom of the card and it got out of hand and ended up way too large, hence the fussy-cutting. :)
This time I placed the jar of flowers over some patterned summer paper, I {heart} Summer patterned paper - Simple Stories. This is an old set of paper, which I thought would have been long retired, but apparently not. :) I glued the jar flat to the paper and popped up the flowers with pop dots.
I added the sentiment "Sending Smiles & Sunshine" to the inside of the card along with two small, watercoloured sunflowers, all part of the same stamp set.
Close-up ...
Thanks for stopping by!
Edited to add: Sending this to NBUS Challenge #27.

Love that patterned paper! We so rarely use it these days but it's great to see it when it does turn up! Beautiful jar of sunflowers - so cheerful and so perfect against the summer paper.
You could not have chosen a more perfect designer paper for your beautiful heat EB and colored fussy cut sunflowers, Lolly. Love the fussy cut jar with your popped up flowers. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
Wonderful card, Loll. I love the design and as you know, I especially love sunflowers. xx
This certainly will send sunshine to a happy recipient, Lolly! Perfect paper to add behind the beautifully colored blooms!
I'm late to seeing all these wonderful stamp sets, Lolly, so I have enjoyed them all in one sitting. They are simply charming sets and you've done a beautiful job of painting the images and designing your cards to bring them to life! Love, Dolly
Beautiful stamping Loll and that background paper is awesome.
Such a sweet card, Loll! Your sunflowers are so pretty and I love the square vase...Love the background, too ~ xx
What an awesome 'save' Loll - this is a gorgeous card. So glad I am not the only one who has to change course midway through a project! :)
Stay safe
Blessings

What a FABULOUS card Loll! Those sunflowers are so happy looking and just beautifully water colored too! Had to laugh about overdoing the shadow and ending up fussy cutting it out...glad I'm not the only one who over does and then has to fix!! But great job on the fussy cutting...it's perfect!! And I love the dsp you used for your background...totally fits with your happy jar of sunflowers!! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
I love the sunflowers and that paper is great with those tiny hearts among the text. Adding the grounding is so hard for me so I had to laugh when yours got "out of hand".
I don't envy the fussy cutting but those bright and beautiful flowers look fabulous on that patterned paper, Loll.
Gotta love fussy cutting! This is so lovely. Great save. The pp is perfect for the background. Beautiful watercolouring and masking.
another great card and it is lovely to see you using patterned paper too xx
Ha! This is the set I mentioned I had on my desk, so you know I love it! Your watercolor is awesome and the paper is perfectly cute with it. Luckily these stamps are easy to cut out so you could totally save your creation. I adore it, Loll!
This is a great save, Loll! I thought you had chosen the patterned paper from the beginning. Your happy sunflowers look so perfect against the cheery newspaper.
