Hi, there everyone: I hope you all are enjoying Summer, we certainly are.

One of my favorite flowers is the Sunflower so I'm lucky I have this gorgeous image from the Power Poppy set called In Praise of Sunflowers.
Sunflowers are beautiful, with their big, smiley faces and bright, sunny colors, their centers that hold the seeds that are so yummy to eat and that also, attract birds, from the humble House Sparrow to Finches, Cardinals, Woodpeckers, Blue Jays and more.
I stamped this image on watercolor paper with Versafine black ink and clear heat embossed it then, colored it with Sakura Koy watercolors.
The pattern paper on the top is from Lili of the Valley (retired) and the "brick" on the bottom is from, believe it or not, some decorative backsplash, self-adhesive tiles that I found at Home Depot on sale, I thought they were so pretty and, since they are made out of vinyl, I thought they would look really awesome on cards.
What do you think?

This is how the INSIDE of my card looks like.
Both the sentiment and the corner image are from the same Power Poppy set.
I hope you come and check out my teammates' creations at THE FLOWER CHALLENGE blog and then, join us in our gallery.
Thank you for stopping by, your comments always make my day.
Hugs.
