Graphic 45 Sunflowers~A Little Something to Brighten your day

I was in need of a special card for a special friend who likes sunflowers.  I found scraps of this Graphic 45 paper on my desk, checked Paper Playful for some challenges and just like that a card is born!  And it is already in the mail with special postage, of course, for the bumpy brad.


I am on the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge design team, however, this is not my week to post, I just happened to see this sketch and fell in love with the versatility..


I also finally tried a long time pinned idea on Pinterest to create a shadow layer for this Stampin Up punch.  I have tons of great punch ideas pinned HERE,


I have had this set of brads for a long time.  The are beautiful, I am not sure if I have been hoarding them or they really just don't work with anything...but this one definitely works here.  I didn't want to bring too much brown into the mix since the paper has black.  To accentuate this I also stamped and embossed the sentiment in black.  

Ingredients:
Graphic 45 Happy Haunting Enchanted Garden paper 
Stampin Up Paper Pumpkin June 2020 sentiment
Colorbox Black pigment ink
Judikins Black Detail embossing powder
Stampin Up Decorative label punch
Brushed yellow gemstone brad
goldenrod cover and card stock
Quick Quotes Midnight Confession chalking ink
fabric flowers
twine
