While I am enjoying using these Graphic 45 French Country papers, I made this card using the sketch #94 from Cardabilities. This is such a great sketch and I can think of so many other ideas using it.
Here I have simply cut banners using the paper, added a strip of burlap and made a sunflower out of crinoline using a method that Linda at The Funkie Junkie, showed us! Thank you Linda, as I love them and so simple. I always lose a petal or two though you can't tell! I dyed the crinoline with Stampin' Up! Crushed Curry re inker. The wording is also from Stampin' Up! - Curly Cute.
I used Stampin' Up! Card for the base and layers - they go perfectly with these papers - Early Espresso and Crushed Curry. The leaves were die cut from the back of one of the papers and cut with a Tim Holtz leaf strip die.

Fabulous. I love it. You should enter it in the challenge. lol Gorgeous sunflower.
Such a pretty card, Jean! Those patterned papers are beautiful, I especially love the green. I really like the way you did your sentiment with the burlap behind it. And your sunflower came out beautiful and looks so pretty with the leaves around it. I always lose a petal or too also, but it doesn't show. That die has one petal with a very thin base that always seems to fall off when you dye the crinoline.
Hugs,
Linda
Your card is really cute and the flower looks just perfect on it. Thanks for joining us for the Cardabilites challenge this time :)
