You are my Sunshine!

I can just hear my Dad singing that old song!  And that’s exactly what I thought of and heard in my head the entire time I was making this cheerful and sunny yellow card.  I wanted to make this card tonight because I just got some new colors of silk ribbon and I loved this soft and buttery golden yellow color.  I immediately thought of this sunflower image on my Cotton Scraps, and away I went:

Isn’t it just so sunny and cheerful?  I love it!  The image is intentionally off to the left a bit to provide more room for the generous bow done in the 100% Silk Ribbon.  A very simply done card, so similar to many I do.

Can you see the Flower Soft I used on the center of the Sunflower?  I used Nut Brown and it adds so much texture IRL - wish you could see it!  Also a closer look at my ribbon/bow.  It’s a double looped bow made on the Bow Easy.

I’m so glad you stopped in today — I truly appreciate it when you do!  I’ll be busy the next couple days getting a few posts ready for this week and adding some fun new things to the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  I’ve added a Page 3 (above my blog header) where I’ll include a few of my most favorite stamping supplies and some other fun things!  I  also have plans to put kits there and other fun seasonal items.  So though I  am just working on it now, plan to check there from time to time to see what is new and what is changing.  Items on Page 3 will change much more frequently than on the other pages.  Anyway, thanks so much for stopping in!  Truly appreciate it!
