WSC22-Sympathy Sunflowers
Using Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge, I made this quick sympathy card. The background is Cornish Heritage Farms' Victorian Sunflower backgrounder. I stamped it with Timber Brown StazOn onto glossy white cardstock and then colored the image with dye based markers. It is mounted to a large cardbase (6.25" x 4.50") of summer sun cardstock, with the edges sponged with coco ink.
The side circle is CHF's new Montana Cracked Earth backgrounder stamped in artichoke ink on moss cardstock, then sponged lightly with artichoke ink. It was cut with the Coluzzle circle template.
The sentiment was stamped in Timber Brown StazOn on shimmer poison ivory cardstock and made into a tag, matted with chocolate cardstock and mounted with dimensionals to the card. Moss taffeta ribbon was tied to the tag (and it really does match the moss circle better in real life!). WRM square copper brads finish off this card.
Be sure to check the links in Beate's sketch post for some more samples of this layout! Have a lovely weekend . . .
Oh, just beautiful, Sharon! LOVE those sunflowers!

Wow!! I think you just sold me some stamps--just like you sold me MFT's Boho Blossoms the other day. If I want to save my pocketbook I'll simply have to quit coming here. Guess I don't want to save my pocketbook. This is a beauty, Sharon!
