Double D Challenge - Sunflowers

Darlene is our hostess for this challenge in October. Don't you just love these sunflowers that she has for our inspiration?  Sunflowers are just awesome and the flower of fall. 

Here is the card that I made for this challenge. 


I used two oldies but goodies.  As a matter of fact, this sunflower is my favorite and I have used it many times. It is Gina K Designs Stately Flowers 5 by Melanie Muenchinger and it is still available. I also used a cover plate from Paper Trey Ink called Sunflower. It is cut and I  adhered to a base card stock Skeleton Leaves from GKD. The sunflower in the small panel is heat embossed in white. I used GKD master layouts one. The sentiment is Tayored Expressions Simple Strips. 
A few teardrops from my stash.
I managed to make a sunflower without using yellow! 

Today's prize offering is: a 6X6 Stencil.  You could be a winner if you enter. 

You have two weeks to play.  Please take a look at the team on the Double D Blog 



Thanks for stopping by and I always appreciate your comments!

  10. Well this is just STUNNING. I am so partial to kraft and white, it's always so striking. How brilliant to use that die cut background die and then insert the rectangle with the stamped image in the middle I love everything about this and can't stop looking at it.
