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.
Recipe:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs-Harvest Blessings set

Benzi, I found the FYI challenge blog just now and saw your card in their gallery! I like your take on the Dubai towers...I'm not sure what I would do with that, I'd need to give it some thought.
Love your sunflower scene, with the dimension and the fence and the water. So pretty!
WOW this is beautiful - your coloring is exquisite! Thanks for playing with us at For Your Inspiration.
The sky colour is gorgeous, love the three dimensional leaves. Thanks for mentioning my shop.
Benzi this is fantastic. Sunflowers are one of my favorite cardmaking flowers. I like your take on the Dubai Towers-I saw that challenge and wondered what people would do with it. Love the little punched fence.
