Hello Friends,

Who said sunflowers have to be yellow?  I decided I wanted a Highland Heather sunflower on this card today and I love the way it came out!  I used the Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set and and the matching Sunflower Dies. The large sunflower was stamped in Highland Heather Ink and the leaves were stamped in Pear Pizzazz on Whisper White Cardstock and then cut out with the matching dies.                                                                                                                            

How do you like the Whisper White background?  It was made with the new Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing Folder.  It was embossed and adhered to a slightly larger mat of Purple Posy Cardstock, which was then placed on the card front.                                                                         

The ribbon, greeting, and tag are retired now, but they remain some of my favorites so I used them on my card.  However, you could use any of the new ones on your card, as well.
