Beautiful Blossoms August 2023 Challenge

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday!  It's the 15th of the month and that always signals a new challenge month at The Beautiful Blossoms Challenge Blog.  The challenge theme is Always Anything Florals Goes with an optional mood board (should you want to use it).  The mood board this month contains one of my favorite flowers and inspired my design today.

Using the "Like a Sunflower" Clear Stamp Set from Sweet 'n Sassy, I've created a sweet and simple card featuring a large Sunflower Head and lovely sentiment.

This image (the set has more than 1 sunflower image) is created as half a sunflower head so I stamped it at the edge of my focal panel, and colored the flower using Prismacolor Pencils.  The only bells and whistles added were touches of Wink of Stella on the flower and the blue gems.

Lately, I've been trying to perfect my CAS technique.  Usually, I don't know when to stop, but lately it's been oppressively hot here, we've been busy with travel and I've not had loads of time in the craft room.  Creating clean and simple designs has given me the opportunity to meet design team deadlines and the stress relief needed from this busy, hot Summer!

We hope you'll visit us at the challenge and share your floral projects.  We always love seeing everyone's creativity.  Until next time, Stay Cool and Happy Crafting!
