Now did the title get your attention or what??
I'll explain it all soon...lol...
Does it seem like the month of August is flying by??
August always makes me think of Sunflowers for some reason....
I striped all my decor down and am working on putting a few sunflower/fall items up....
So when the Cheery Lynn Designs challenge this week was doiles...
I decided to make my card a sunflower one.....
(I know none of this makes sense, but it's how my mind works...lol)
My very first Cheery Lynn die was the French Pastry Doily...
I can remember the rage was all those paper doilies you could buy
just about anywhere...a look I loved....
but, when this die came out, and I could cut one any color/pattern I wanted...
boy oh boy was I excited....
I could sit and cut these forever....
My doily was cut with LilyBee Designs "Double Dutch" paper...
if you like gingham, then this little 6 x 6 pad is for you...
when I saw it had 6 gingham colors in the pad, it was love at first sight!!
The background paper is Prima Sun Kiss
my "sunflowers" were made with Sizzix flower dies #2.....
the centers are punched circles and hard to tell, but embossed...
Also this week Moxie Fab World has a challenge called "movement"...
meaning how your eyes vocus on one thing and leads you up to another and so on....
I first see the big sunflower, then the gingham doily, then the leaf flourish
which leads me back down to the two smaller flowers.....
So, I am entering this in the Cheery Lynn Designs Challenge "doilies"
