Sunflowers are a favorite of one of my dearest friends so I knew exactly what I would color for her birthday card this year. When I color an image for a card I always feel obligated to create a beautiful, comfortable place for them to live. Yes, I'm a little wacky that way but that's how I roll in my creative fantasy world.
I think charming little Abigail from Make it Crafty looks perfectly at home in this cheery sunflower garden. I gave her some walking space in front of the garden fence with some foam tape. I die cut the garden and background layers and added some gold leafing to the inner layer. I also die cut some craft foam to match the background shape and glued it to the card base to add some extra dimension. I added white gel pen accents to my flowers and Abigail's dress.
A happy little flowery scene all ready for a birthday wish...
Happy summer, y'all.
Thanks for visiting.
Go forth and plant a sunny garden...in your yard or on a card.

ReplyDeleteI just left a message on your sunflower card as that is the one that you linked your card to when I came to your blog. But I do see this card so I just hit home and it brought me to this card. I love this card too. I love your coloring and fun images. Beautiful cards. So glad you shared over at Colour Crazy Challenge.

Billie, it's very weird but it appears the link address of these two cards are reversed when I try to add them to your site. This is the first time this has happened to me. I tried to upload my other Sunflower card in your site and I keep getting the link to this card. I can't remove my original link on your site to see if starting over helps. Sorry for the confusion! xo

Such a cute little scene you have created. I wish I could take a stroll down past a sunflower field like that one. Thank you for sharing your talent with us at CRAFTY CATZ. Best of luck! Nick
