Marks Finest Papers Blog Hop Day 2

I'm not part of the official hop today but I did want to share this wonderful set with you. It's my favorite of this month's release. Isn't this little sunflower gal just the cutest? On the top card, I added the label from the Seed Packet image and tucked it behind the metal tag also available from Mark's finest papers.

I water colored the images and masked them to look like a field of sunflowers and drew my own stems and leaves. I used Staedler water color pencils. The one in the front on the left, I stamped, colored and cut out with a scalloped die cut to add some interest, then popped it up a bit.

I do love how this card turned out. So happy looking.
