Yup, I broke it out again...

Happy Friday everyone! Whew, here in St. Louis we are hot hot hot, it topped out at 108 without the heat index yesterday! We are also in the middle of a drought...can't remember the last time it rained, sigh. This however, has kept our humidity super low, usually we are at around 70 to 80 percent but yesterday it was only at 13%. I don't want to even think how hot it would have felt yesterday if the humidity would have been at our normal level...jeeze. Looks like the weather isn't cooling down anytime soon either. Guess I'll just have to stay indoors and have a lot of crafty time...ohhh the torture ;)

Well, let's get on with this post shall we? Like I said on Monday, I really love this cute little sunflower stamp and I couldn't resist another go at it. I decided that sometimes you just don't need to add color...

Paulina from DeNami Design, upon reading last Mondays post went out of her way to find me some examples of cards using this sunflower...how awesome is she? If you'd like to see some more of this cute little sun loving flower, here are some links, :) enjoy!

Rows of sunflowers

I finally acquired the ohhh so cute small sunflower stamp with full intentions of using it right away. I even made this card for a little reminder for our last challenge (garden theme) but never got a chance to post it :(

This stamp had been on my wish list forever and I had no idea what I wanted to do with it when I ordered it, I just simply knew I loved it and would figure out something....

To give the sunflowers a little texture, I added some "scattered straw" Distress Stickles to all of the petals. It really looks great in person...wish ya'll could see the effect. Now that I'm looking at the picture, I think I should have dry embossed the orange panel...ahhh well, too late now!

Thanks for stopping by!
