The Paper Players #735 and NBUS #73

I love it when an email shows up that leads me to a challenge.  Sometimes I forget to look at my list and that email is just the nudge I need.  Today I saw a couple for The Paper Players and got busy and made a card. 


I purchased the Sunflower Serenade from Spellbinders a while ago and thought it would work well for the sketch - all made from scraps.  A strip of Honey Bee paper that looks like burlap was die cut along the edges with HB's Deckle Edge die.  It kind of gave my card a rustic, country look.  The sentiment is a BetterPress done in brown. 

It's the first time using the sunflower so off it goes to Darnell's NBUS .

Thanks for dropping by.

Beautiful card. Love your pretty sunflower. The burlap paper is the perfect background for it. I have this die also and need to use it again. Thanks for the inspiration.

That deckled edge gave your card the edge, I'm sure of it, Bobby! So clever with your pretty sunflower!

That burlap ribbon makes a perfect place for this sunflower, Bobby! I think this is my favorite sunflower die!

This is just beautiful Bobby - your simple diecut flower is so cheery and looks fabulous against the texture of the burlap patterned strip. Thanks for sharing with us over at The Paper Players this week!

What a super warm rustic vibe this card has with the striking sunflower and the texture of the hessian. Thanks for sharing it with us at The Paper Players.
