Stamps by Chapel Road - Large Sunflower Set and the background is Flower Words
To create the large background I used Vibrant Turquoise, Midnight and White Linen Dylusions Inks. I stamped the Flower Words with Salty Ocean Distress Ink.
I used glossy paper and Sailboat Blue, Purple Twilight & Citrus Adirondack Alcohol inks to create the background behind the sunflower. The Sunflower was stamped with Black Archival ink. I added colour to the flower with Tom Marker #062. I cut the main image out and attached to the larger background over ribbon. The sentiment and whimsical border are also from the Large Sunflower Set.
And below is a 2nd card created using Sunflower Set.
The background was created with Cut Grass, Fresh Lime and Vibrant Turquoise Dylusions Inks. I sprayed over top with Gold Glimmermist and blotted with a paper towel which created the water marks. I stamped the whimsical border with Mowed Lawn Distress Ink.
The Sunflower was embossed with black and coloured with Tombow Markers #55, 158 & 993. I cut around the image and popped over the background.
Thanks for your visit and have a fabulous day,
Shirley

Two beautiful cards Shirley.
I love also the backgrounds, very beautiful colors.
Have a nice day, Annemie.
Beautifs, love the colours, and I am sure you are longing for spring, hope it comes soon. Hugs, Valerie
Love the cards! That sunflower is beautiful on the blue and green! They sell them overhere since a little while and this one is on my list... Hope you've planed a fun day, Gerrina
A really beautiful stamp and you have displayed it so well Shirley. Wonderful inspiration as always
Love Chrissie x
Two stunning cards, love the colours of your amazing backgrounds. Sending purrs to Archie and Sheena.
Two wonderful cards with that gorgeous stamp! Love how it extends just outside the frame. Great colours and beautiful backgrounds too!
On both cards the colours look lovely Shirley...but my first choice would be the green and yellow card (oldfashioned choice :-)). The stamps are great!
These are both delightful and so different, but using the same flower stamp. I like the little circular stamp you are using for the border.
I keep meaning to say how much I like your new header, and hope that your garden looks more like that soon.
Hi Shirley, both cards are really beautifull and the stamp is very very cute.
Wunderschöne Motive und fantastische Farben, großartig!
That is a fabulous stamp, but the way you used it made it even more special. The alcohol inked b'ground behind the first sunflower really grabbed my attention. The colours are so soft and pretty, and look amazing against the deeper, richer b'ground of the card. I love those colours!! The second card has a wonderful summer feel to it. These are both lovely!!
Wow two stunning cards Shirley, I love the colours you've used. especially the green one.

Ohh, that's fab idea, Shirley!
I like how you have created layers of background here.
Lovely sunflower cards with vibrant colours! You know I love sunflowers........xx Miranda
wow! how beautiful! A magical night time version of the beautiful daylight version! Perfect for daylight savings LOL - wonderful brilliant colors, Shirley! and a gorgeously put-together card! hugs, de
So beautiful, Shirley, just breathtaking! Visiting you is like falling into the wonders of a kaleidoscope!! Hugs, Darnell
So stunning Shirley whenever I visit your blog I smile at all the colours huggles Sue xx
Shirley, you really must quit introducing me to these new stamp companies! Love both these cards - of course I do! The backgrounds are fab, as ever. But I really love that sunflower image and your tombow coloring is marvelous. Both these cards say "summer" with that wonderful sunflower taking center stage. Loved that tiny border stamping too. TFS & Hugs
If green or blue, your cards look both very good with the lovely sunflower. Very good backgrounds.
Greetings

Sorry for the mix up in the candies lol, I forgot to put the second picture up with details...yes the first has closed but I can include your name in it in the draw as the last entry....no probs.xxx
Love them both, Shirley! Neat to see how the same image can be used to make a totally different looking card. Your alcohol ink background is wonderful--something I don't seem to be able to do.
Both are gorgeous! I love the sunflowers and the fresh colours. A touch of summer feeling!!
Wow both are beautiful. love the blue color. Janny
So beautiful dear Shirley. The spring is welcome also by you I think. We mist you so Shirley last Monday but I have heard great news for 2015. That"s good news, so Marlene told me. Big hug and love Marja
Hey Shirley, I just thought I'd stop by and see what you've been up to. I am dreaming of Spring too. It certainly doesn't look like it in Ontario today. Oh well, soon enough. These sunflower cards are gorgeous. I especially love the colours in the first and the background texture that you made with alcohol inks. Thanks for this little bit of sunshine today :)
Poor Archie, hope he feel better soon. Bet his little mess was fun to clean up. :) Our other cat (no longer with us) did that and then jumped on the bed, she did it for about a week! Sending hugs to Archie and Sheena. Skipper and Mummy
Two wonderful cards, love the fresh colors.
Surely I am wandering through Provence on a summer's day. Glorious creations.
Wishes
Lynne
Fabulous sunflowers, loving the blue one! Roll on summer I say.
These are two absolutely gorgeous cards Shirley. I love them both but I guess if I had to choose one it would be the green background because it is so Spring-like. The Chapel Road Sunflower stamp is so stylish, I must look out for those on my travels. I love the Flower Words stamped in the background on the blue card, and that whimsical border on both cards is so pretty. x
Both of these cards are stunning Shirley! You have inspired me once again my friend! Glad I got a chance to pop in and see these!
Big hugs!
ellen
Wow, Shirley, both of these cards are really beautiful! Just the subtle change of colors makes such a difference! I agree with Ellen too!
This is such a pretty sunflower, Shirley! You've presented it in two very different ways and each is gorgeous!
