Good morning. I made this card for the Splitcoast Stampers Featured Stamper 259 (FS259) challenge this morning where I chose Luv Flowers (Kim Hahn) as our Featured Stamper. Kim has a beautiful gallery filled with flowers! I ultimately ended up choosing her Sunflower Grateful card and made my Scripty Sunflower card.
I did some ink distressing on my card and used the En Francais background stamp inked with Crumb Cake for my background. I then directly colored onto the Sunflower background stamp with markers and stamped onto and over the script. I do wish I had taken an Aqua Painter to blend the More Mustard ink with the Daffodil Delight for a better transition – but, lesson learned. As I only stamped half of the sunflower on the outside, I took the remainder of the stamp that was inked up and stamped that onto a piece of Very Vanilla card stock for the inside of my card.
I do hope you like this and that it provides you with some inspiration. Thank you so much for stopping by to see me today and God bless you.
