PP493 Sunflower With Sympathy

I knew I wanted to color this lovely sunflower in purples

 from Celebrate Sunflowers set and when I saw Jaydee's tic-tac-toe 

challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com this week for the first row

 down-flower, sympathy and purple I was so happy to color it.

 I grabbed Blackberry Bliss, Highland Heather, and Mango 

Melody Stampin Blends markers for the flowers and Granny Apple Green

for the leaves. I inked them up in Memento Tuxedo Black on white card stock

and then after coloring, I cut them with the matching Sunflower dies.

I then layered a piece of Highland Heather ran through with the 

Tasteful Textile embossing folder on white base. 

I then cut the white scalloped rectangle from Stitched So Sweetly dies

then layered the flower and leaves on. I stamped the sentiment from a retired 

SAB set called Lasting Lily in Memento Tuxedo Black

 on white card stock and cut with the Ornate Frames dies. 

I finished it off with some pearls.

Have a lovely day and thanks for stopping by!
