Sending Sunshine- Card from a kit

Hi all! I have a pair of cards to share today! I was inspired by the single page sketch at Stick It Down:


I was also inspired by the left column of the Tic Tac Toe Challenge board:


I recently bought the Simon Says Stamp October Card kit (it looks like it is already sold out). I went to work with the included stencils and stamps when I received it. I used the layering stencils to blend the color for the flowers and then stamped the lines over the top. I didn't get things lined up quite right, so there is a little shadowing in spots. I will have to try another technique next time. The set makes a 6x6 image, so I cut it in half to make two cards. I had this really old brown sunflower paper that I used to layer over the edge to complete the card front. I used Walnut Stain Distress ink and inked the edges of my panel. I took brown and gold spray ink and added some splatters. It is hard to see, but I stamped and heat embossed "Sending Sunshine" in the bottom corner of my card and then tied some twine above it.


 I am really loving these sunflower stamps and I am looking forward to playing with the images more in the future!
