I know these are not the traditional colors for a sunflower but I thought that it would look more similar to a huge daisy instead. And, since I only had holly leaves I used them for my leaves on the flower. The butterfly is an embossing die cut so in order to have the embossed design show up more I first inked it up before I die cut it. And, I used that elegant looking card cover for the background and added the sentiment which was stamped onto another oval die cut. After all was assembled I added some bling to the butterfly, flower and the sentiment oval.
I forgot to add that the sunflower is made from some background paper I made with the wax embossing resist technique in which I sponged on Lovely Lavender ink.
I know this second photo shows up being more like navy but it is indeed the same card and try as I might I just could not get it to show the true colors. But maybe seeing the card from a different angle might show off more of the dimension of the die cuts used.
I used the following Cheery Lynn Designs dies:
Card Cover Maker #4 CAFR-11
DL 121 Sunflower
B183 Holly Leaves
XM-7 Oval-Classic
D130 Butterfly Bundles

Fabulous background and beautiful flower.
That's a really pretty background die, and I love the texture and dimension of the flower you made.
Gorgeous creation Verna! Love the purple hues. The waxed resist technique looks great on the sunflower.
Fabulous background and that daisy is a very nice touch. You have so much texture here. Are you able to get STV now? Just wondering.
Stunning, simply stunning. That die cut background is gorgeous, and I love that you did kind of a monochrome thing. Your flower is perfect, as is your butterfly. Gorgeous card!
