Mod Squad challenge and Power Poppy Challenge

Power Poppy Challenge for March Challenge: Give it a little shimmer with GOLD!



The Mod Squad challenge for this week is use a Flower.  For a bonus, use a Melanie Muenchinger stamp as she is the sponsor this week. 
This is easy as I can add gold to the flower and accomplish two for one, again.  My favorite flower that Melanie has done and I have used it over and over again, is .............. the Sunflower. 
I chose to do it plain and simple and let the flower to the focal image. 
I used GKD heavy Ivory base and layering weight for this card.  The die is Lil' Inker stitched rectangles.  I embossed with gold and colored with Copic Markers.  Then layered on top of gold cardstock.  Popped that out with foam strips and added gold twine from GKD. 

Thanks for dropping in and I do much love the comments.

  7. I love what you did with the sunflower. I love the gold embossing and the double stitched rectangles add so much detail. . Really a classy card. I colored the sunflower yesterday for a card, but don't know how I will use it yet.
