For FS868: Sweet Irene
Congratulations to you! I chose Betty's field flowers card to case. I changed the striped panel to burlap, the field flowers to a sunflower, and colored using ink blending as a background.
I blended two DOX inks on watercolor paper, spritzed with water and stamped my sunflower on top. I got out my paper piercer and pierced the corners (that used to be such a thing; now everyone uses dies!), then distressed the edges. I added a piece of burlap for texture and added interest. And of course I added some bling - Split Pea Kasiercraft Rhinestones. Very simple!
Thanks for looking!

Sunflowers are the sparkle at the end of summer! Love the way you coloured yours. It really makes it glow. Beautiful texture from the burlap and distressed edging. Lovely card!

I really like the sponging with the sunflower, and the burlap is terrific.

Beautiful card, Judy! I love the rich colors you used to highlight the sunflower! The distressing, piercing and addition of the burlap take it up a notch!

Gorgeous CASE and a gorgeous design. I love the flower stamped onto your blended area. Your balance of color and white is impeccable. Love the paper pierced corners along with the distressed edges. Those little touches really add zing to a card. And, your burlap does add both texture and interest just like you planned. Awesome card.
