Sunflower

      Good Tuesday my stamping friends!  My card was inspired by a video I saw on The Lily Pad blog and will be entered in their inspirational monthly challenge.
     Vicky used embossing powder and Distress Stain inks and daubers to make a beautiful card.  I put down the Copics and got out the Distress inks.  I didn't have the dauber colors I wanted so I used only the ink pads.  I hate to admit it but one of my daubers was dried up!  Horrors!
     I didn't pop up the petals or leaves this time.  The orange cardstock was embossed using a diamond shape folder from Sizzix.  The stamp is by Sandi Miller.  The online store I purchased it from is out of business.  
     It was 111 degrees yesterday & today is suppose to be hotter!  I'm going to stay inside and stamp....unless Hobby Lobby beckons me!  Stay cool!
