Lynette and I found a little time to stamp together on Wednesday, September 26. This is Lynette's card. Our inspiration came from Carol Read's blue sunflower card: Stampin With Carol Read. We used the smaller sunflower from the 2000 Stampin' Up Summer Sunflower Definitely Decorative set. The circles were made from Lynette's Stampin' Up's circle dies-I think they are called Stitched Shapes Framelits.
My card is lacking some blue! Wish I had added more sunflowers! I really like how Lynette's card pops with all the blue! Lynette found the perfect ink colors for the two step stamping of the sunflowers: ballet blue and limeade from Stampin' Up and ultramarine from Vivid.
I made this card front at Lynette's and finished it at home.
The birthday wishes stamp is from Hero Arts.
Made this card today, trying to fit in more flowers like Lynette's card.
I had to make do with my inks: Stampin' Up's brilliant blue and old olive instead of Lynette's Vivid ultramarine and SU limeade.
I added a grosgrain ribbon and a paper "banner".
Sentiment from Fiskars.
Here is look inside my card. Sentiment stamp by PSX.
Wanted to remember the evening at Lynette's so took a photo of the charcuterie we enjoyed with our husbands while watching some travel shows on TV.
Thank you for visiting! Hoping you have a fun week end!

Laura your cards are just lovely! I really like that sunflower image. I also really like the way you improvised on the color combo. So many beautiful blues out there lol. I know we can get caught up in sunflowers being the “usual colors” but as you’ve shown here they can be super pretty in all sorts of combinations. Don’t stop with the blues.....try others as well. You will be surprised what works. I’m glad I was able to inspire you both. You are so kind to mention me in your post Thank You.
You always decorate the inside of the cards. It is such a nice touch.
