Celebrate Sunflowers

It feels good to be back on my blog! Today is a great day to start back, the NEW ANNUAL catalog goes LIVE!  This past week my husband and I celebrated our 28th Wedding Anniversary and I always struggle making masculine cards, but I saw the sunflower and thought it would be great. I didn't use traditional colors for a sunflower, but I made it my own. The Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle is $51.25 on p. 74 of the catalog.  
I used a Cherry Cobbler base and stamped out the sunflower with Momento Black ink randomly on the front. I then stamped the same stamp onto Very Vanilla cardstock and used the coordinating die to cut it out. I used the detailed sunflower outline (which cuts like butter!) in Basic Black card stock and sponged it with Mono Multi and adhered it to the front. 
 I heat embossed the sentiment in Gold Embossing Powder onto Basic Black card stock and used the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (p. 179) (The sentiment was from the 2019-20 Holiday catalog that just retired yesterday).
