To brighten up the day I decided to make a card with Sunflowers on it. They are my favorite flowers and I think they are so cheerful looking.
I started my card with a brown card base. I layered it with red card stock and added a layer of Graphic 45 French Country designer paper. I really think these color compliment each other and are perfect for a card with a country feel.
I used red card stock to cut the Fleur De Lis Decorative Square. I used a square die to cut out a window to fit the Heartfelt Creations Sunflower Bouquet behind it. I stamped two of the images so I could fussy cut the sunflowers from the one to place in the corner. I shaped the flowers using the Paper Blossom Tool kit. I colored the images with copics. I adhered the three sunflowers on the corner of the first image and popped one of them up using a foam square. I used green card stock to cut the Marianne Anja Leaves 2 to place them under the sunflowers. I used my trusty Memory Box
Willoughby Butterfly Wings to cut the butterflies in the upper corner. This is the butterfly image that I use most. I used tear drop pearls to place on the butterfly and in the corners as the finishing touch to my card.
There is a big sale going on in the Classy Cards Store. Everything is 43% off.
Thank you for stopping by today.

There is so much to like about this gorgeous card. The colors are scrumptious, as is the coloring. I also like the idea of cutting some of the blossoms for extra embellishments. A special thanks for your continued inspiration. Thanks also for your encouraging comments. All of you one Classy Cards will be missed - but I am sure I will continue to see you around.
