It's fun for me to be inspired by the board and see what I have in my collection that fits. In this case I went with the photo in the lower left corner -- sunflowers in a tin container. The sunflowers I used are a retired Power Poppy set. The stamp depicts the sunflowers in a pretty vase, but I cut that away so I could put them in a tin pail (die). The neutral colors in the background are also inspired by the photo.
There's that cute little Whittle Bird I've been using a lot lately. The Memory Box Wood Grain Planks are new to me. I sponged ink on the edges to weather them. Colored the sunflowers with Copic markers. The pail is cut from shimmery silver cardstock. Stickles glitter for some dewy sparkle.
Hey, there's a prize this month! You'll just have to go to the Four Seasons challenge blog to check it out and see the beautiful work by the team. Have a happy day!
