This card is a a real mix of products from a number of my favourite companies. The sunflower is from A Jillian Vance Design, and I liked the outline design so much that I got out some Waffle Flower leaf dies that also have that outline.
To colour my cardstock background and inlaid pieces, I used my gel plate and some stencils. I love how the starburst stencil on the flower actually makes it look like there are more petals. And if you look closely, you can see the stencil pattern on the flower centre as well - I just blended dark brown ink over top of it so that I could retain the subtle pattern.

Wonderful bloom. Love all the stenciling and I agree the stardust on the petals does make it look like more petals. Love the the rhinestone accents in the center. Such a happy card.

Ardyth, this is a great case of Lois' card. I love your big oversized sunflower and leaves along with the die cut Thanks. They look great against the colorful background you created. The extra pattern on the sunflower petals does make it look like smaller petals inside of each.

Your glorious sunflower is the perfect late summer/fall motif! Love the die cuts you used and that beautifully chunky 'thanks'! Great take of the FS's card (which is marvellous as well!).
Wow! I really must get out my gel press and make a day of it! Your stenciled prints look amazing! I was so intrigued with the background that at first, I didn't notice the petals on the flower. Such a wonderful idea!
