Hi everyone. Fall is my favourite time of year with all the amazing colours of the fall flowers and changing leaves. This card is made with Peeking Dahlia Stencil (STAMPlorations), which is an off-the-edge design. I used Distress Inks: Spiced Marmalade and Seedless Preserves Seed for the flower - LOVE the contrasting colours. I stamped the sentiment (Lots of Thanks - retired) in Seedless Preserves DOX inks. I always forget to use DOX inks when I'm stamping a sentiment. It makes a solid image in one go which means it stays true to it's colour, whereas I usually have to stamp Distress Inks two or three times to fill in a sentiment, which usually ends up darker than I want.

I'm sending this card to the Simply CAS September Challenge (second entry), where it's always Anything Clean & Simple Goes. This month the optional theme is "Use A Stencil".

How very beautiful, love the colour mix and the gorgeous flower. x
So simple, and really stunning, Loll - in two colors! I never use DOX for sentiments... I should remedy that!

Gorgeous choice of Distress Inks for your Off the Edge stenciled sunflower. Love how you stamped your sentiment with DOX Seedless Preserves and your Clean and Simple Fall card design, my friend.

Your Fall sunflower is simply stunning. The colour combo looks amazing and I do love an off the edge design xx
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing with us at Simply Clean & Simple Challenge.
Applying ink through the stencil allows you to achieve such a beautiful ombre effect, as on this beautiful sunflower. I love this card, it is full of optimism and warmth.
Love this Loll, the flower is so gorgeous, the depth of colors look so fall and sun kissed! I love the purple center and purple sentiment. Yes, I love stamping with DOX because you don't have to stamp a million times to get a nice stamp. Love it for your sentiment! Hugs, Brenda
