First, this is for today's Color Challenge 210 where we were to use Riding Hood Red, Summer Sun, Kraft, and Black (optional) I chose to use all of them.
Second, this is for Flourishes Timeless Tuesday's Challenge where Cindy challenged us to use ribbon. I usally tie my ribbons in a bow, this time I only tied it in a knot.
My sun flower squares are popped up on dementionals as well as the black squares under them. My lady bug is a button. And the button on my prima flower is an old button from my DH's mom's collection of buttons. When she passed away, my DH inherited her jar of buttons. She was a very crafty person from what I hear in the stories my DH tells me. So, I think she would be quite proud of me for finding such a crafty use for her button.
I did kinda cheat a little. The button on the prima flower has a little bit of brown in it. So on my stamped flowers, I stamped the centers black then I went over them with my SU!! Chocolate Chip marker. I hope that is ok because it ties the two together. It looked off with out me doing that.

Very pretty! I love the layout and the trio of sunflower images! The ladybug button and big Primas are great! So is DH's grandmother's button! Love the black accents!

Sunflowers and ladybugs just an adorable combination.
