Plaid Sunflower Card with Doodling

Hello friends. My last order from Scrapbook.com included a free Sunflower die/emboss set and yes, I may have placed an order to get the free die, haha! I absolutely love sunflowers. My grandmother in upstate New York used to grow them on her farm. I also stumbled on a beautiful sunflower farm awhile back, here in Alabama, and got inspired all over again. They're one of God's beautiful creations!

I started by ink blending my A2 card panel with a variety of Ranger distress oxide inks along with my Simon Hurley Rectangle stencil. I actually masked a portion of the space with my mint tape so it was more of a squared area for ink blending. 

The sunflower die set includes 4 pieces and I used 3 of the dies, using papers from the Scrapbookcom Cozy paper pad, and the yellow paper from the Playful paper pad.

I recently made a card that featured a sentiment from the Scrapbookcom Gratitude stamp set, and I wanted to use another sentiment from that set. I used my Scrapbookcom hybrid ink in black and Autumn Leaves to stamp with my Misti stamp positioner.

I did something unexpected on this card; a little doodling for my flower stem. Don't ask me why, but I think it's a fun little surprise and adds a little bit of whimsy. What can I say, my brain has a mind of it's own, haha. I just drew a line with a green marker then outlined it with my Ranger fineliner Letter It black pen, and edged both sides of my stem with tiny little "prickly" lines. I also dotted my stem with a white gel pen.

The polka dot paper under my card panel was from the Cozy paper pad and is also the same paper I used for the small die cut center of my flower. I embellished my center with a white gel pen and Pops of Color in Creamsicle. I trimmed my card panel and patterned paper backing just a bit, to fit my A2 sized card.
