I made this for Cammie's Heart-to-Heart - http://myblogbycammie.blogspot.com/2...log-candy.html. Although I also made a card to send the home where her grandmother was, this was the card I made first. It's for a friend who left her job earlier this year to care for her mother who has Alzheimer's. She really likes sunflowers and oranges; the last card I sent her not too long ago was a sunflower so this is just a Sunny-flower.
I used Pick-A-Petal and stamped it onto yellow card with ColorBox Pigment Marigold, and a darker orange for the centre. I added a green fibre stem. The little bird is from Sideshow Stamps, and is paper-pieced onto the base layer. I pierced all round the edges and added little beads in every alternate pierced hole. The sentiment is from Hero Arts, and I added stitching lines round the edge of each circle.

This is gorgeous. Oh how she will love this at a time when her life has taken a different road. I really like the beads. That is such a special touch. What a great card. TFS
