Sunflower Thanks

 Hi there!

I pulled out the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set for today's card.  I was experimenting with the new Soft Pastels.  This is one of the stamp sets I decided to try.  I'm pretty happy with the results; I hope you'll like it too!

To color the sunflower, I stamped the image in VersaMark and then used a dauber to apply the color.  It's a different look, but I like it!  After coloring,  I die cut the flower with the Sunflowers die.  What do you think?  Is it something you'd like to try?  Let me know!

My card base is Thick Very Vanilla with a layer of Copper Foil cardstock.  Next is a layer of Kraft Paper embossed with the Bark 3D embossing folder.  I stamped the greeting in VersaMark and heat embossed it with Copper embossing powder.  Finally, I wrapped Linen Thread around the embossed panel and tied a bow.
