I think I was feeling a bit country-ish when I made this card.
It is really really hot out, and I mean really hot....
in the 90's for this past week....
I am not ready to see summer go, but I do love Fall
and I love making Fall cards!
Our fields around here in Michigan are full of corn, beans,
and Sunflowers.....I love the site of country living!
I think that is how this card came about.
I used Crafty Secrets digital paper for my background.
It is from the Kitchen Memories Kit....
I stitched it on kraft card stock.
From Crafty Secrets Birds & Botanical Images & Journal Notes,
I cut the vintage seed packet.
It was inked around the edges, and I sponged a bit on the front as well.
I used TH Distressed Vintage Photo ink.
There is a new Sunflower Digital Stamp set at Crafty Secrets....
it is loaded with digital images and sentiments.
This set contains 20 digital stamps in brown and 20 in black...
my goodness at $6.95 how can you go wrong?
That is where my Sunflower came from.I printed it,
colored and glittered it, then fussy cut it out.
The Country Blessing sentiment was cut from
Crafty Secrets Creative Scraps Farm Fresh.
I added a pretty bow and a tied on button to finish.
Make sure and visit the Crafty Secrets Heartwarming Vintage blog
where the Sunflower digital set is being featured!

What a super sunflower!! Lovely card Diane ... Oh and Ginger cat says to ask you if he can come over and sunbathe in your garden? How's the kitty BTW??
I also am very fond of country living, driving by fields of ripened crops. Sunflowers are so beautiful. I like your card, the 3D effect on the seed packet is super. Thank you so much for taking time to post your very creative art with us this week at Word Art Wednesday, in our 199th challenge.
Blessings and Hugs, Carole
