Sunflowers for August Guest Designing with Triple B Challenge

 


Hi all!  I have the honor of playing along as a guest designer in the Triple B Challenge this month.




This challenge requires either blooms, birds, or butterflies, or you can do all three at once.  There is always an inspiration board, but that's just it -- inspiration.  You are not required to use it.  I could not resist these glorious sunflowers.



I've done no fancy coloring today.  Rather, I simply used this stamp as though I was a kid with a coloring book and I enjoyed every minute of it.  Stamped in Versafine Onyx Black on white shimmer cardstock, clear embossed, and colored with Copics.  All I had to do was stay in the lines.



It's one of those cards you have to see up close and personal.




The Stained Glass Sunflower by Whimsy Stamps is a few years old, but its charm is undiminished.

Come visit at Triple B.  I always love seeing the team's samples and the team would love to see yours.  You have lots of options and all month to play.  Very fun!

Take care, friends.  I'll be back when time allows.




Stamps:  Whimsy Stamps Stained Glass Sunflower, Memory Box Big and Little Reverse Words  Paper:  White metallic shimmer cardstock, SU Daffodil Delight & Really Rust  Ink:  Versafine Onyx Black, Versamark  Coloring:  Copics  Other:  Detail clear & detail black embossing powder, SU Subtle 3D embossing folder on card base

  11. Congrats on guesting, Leslie! This is a stained glass work of art, I love the way you "kid" colored it LOL! That's always been one of my favorite things to do, ever since I was a little girl. I love it when our granddaughter is here and gets out her coloring books for us to color together! Pretty, pretty card!
