Sunflowers by the Water

I have visitors this weekend so needed to make a late night post. I wanted to play this week with a new challenge, For Your Inspiration #1. They have a wonderful photo to be inspired with. I thought of my sunflowers as reaching for the sky as are The Dubai Towers. The towers were on the water so I added that, also.

I'm using a custom large sunflower die that coordinates with the Harvest Blessings set from Our Daily Bread Designs. I colored the flowers with Copics and sponged the sky and a bit of sun. Added the fence, sand (Flower Soft), and the water (designer paper).

I don't do many scenes but I rather like this one with those wonderful flowers rising up....after a long winter.

I'm entering my card into these challenges:
Simply Create #38-Flowers
Little Claire's Designs #2-Flowers
The Pixie Cottage #59-Sketch and /or Spring-Flowers

I also got inspiration this week from EtsyInspired#129. They are giving us inspiration this week from Desired Things shop. My inspiration came from the seeded flower on this wonderful journal:

It is really beautiful and reminded me of the seeded centers of my sunflowers.
