You put the SUN in Sunflower

Happy Monday and a beautiful one it is here in AZ......upper 60's and sunny what more could you ask for in January.  I have a couple of much needed days off I tell you it is just go go go around here, sometimes I wonder how I have time to work ! I had my little pup fixed this past Friday so I have been keeping a close eye on him so we have been in the craft room a good majority of the day.  Tomorrow afternoon it is DGD's basketball game clear on the other side of town.


For my card today I have followed the sketch at Just Magnolia by Donalda.  My image is Tilda holding an Sunflower, and a little bee that is also from Magnolia, I don't see them in stock right now at Magnolia-licious but I am sure if you contact Diana she can help you out.  Have you checked out the new Mini Maggies they are just adorable.  At Magnolia-licious Highlites they wanted us to do a recipe challenge:*4 Flowers*3 types of patterned paper *2 Magnolia images (any image by Magnolia qualifies/ ie. accessory, background, tilda/edwin, animal, sentiment, etc.)*1 Ribbon.  My background papers are from Nitwits. The corners are the 3rd part of the papers as well as the 4 flowers and are from Laurie Furnell.  Sentiment is computer generated.  At the Magnolia-licious Challeng blog, Cabio has given us a color challenge to use green and orange.  And last but by no means least at 7kids College Fund they wanted us to challenge ourself...I challenged myself to color in the grass something I have never done and need more work on :)  My images are colored with copics.  I have added glossy accents to her shoes, and stickles throughout for bling,  The sunflower and bee have fun flock on them for depth.  The sky was done with chalk.  Lace is from my stash.
Thanks for coming by hope you have a great evening !
Hugs♥

    Hi Charlene,
    What a sweet card :o)
    I love the corners you have done to match Tilda's sunflower and your lovely sentiment.
    Tilda and the sky are coloured so well and I admire that you gave yourself a challenge to learn how to do grass!
    Great papers and embellishments.
    Really happy that you joined us in our Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog.
    Hugs, Candy
