Double D Sunflowers

Welcome to a new challenge at Double D Challenge Blog.  This challenge is all about Sunflowers. Look at the beautiful examples Dar found for our inspiration. 


I colored mine up to look like the ones on the top right and put them in a clay pot that came from Elizabeth Crafts. It comes with a saucer but I chose not to use it this time. I used an IO wheat die and a very old cat of dine tails from a company that went out of business a long time ago. I still love it especially for fall cards. The sunflower is also an old one from MFT.  The centers of the flowers are filled with black flower soft which gives them a lot of texture.  



The prize for this challenge is this sunflower stencil.  We hope you will join us for this challenge.  We had so many fabulous entries for the pumpkin or owl challenge. The team has more fabulous inspiration for you at

  2. This is such a pretty card Kathy! Your sunflower bouquet turned out beautifully. There are so many older dies that I will never part with because their style is timeless. You've got a wonderful handful of examples on this sweet card.
