Here's my sunflower card:
I heat-embossed the sunflower in dark brown, and colored it with Brushos. Then cut it into 4 pieces and pasted them on a piece of white square cardstock. The notebook page was die cut and the sentiment was heat-embossed in the same color as the sunflower. I added a brass pin to the flower panel so that it looks like a summer memory pinup photo.
Thanks for visiting me today!
