Sunflower Birthdays

I have used some sweet Lawn Fawn sunflower dies, and a Memory Box sentiment die  to make a couple birthday cards...

This first one, I die cut and "kind of" brushed some ink on all three of the colored elements...although it just shows on the leaves.  I added a die cut and layered sentiment , and popped up the panel over some cut strips, using the same papers as the flower and sentiment.  Here's a close up...

The second one, I used the same sentiment , but a border of little sunflowers, along with a Simon Says Stamp sunflower filled embossing folder ...

I die cut and layered the row of sunflowers, adding the die cut and layered senetiment.  I adhered them to a couple panels that I adhered together, then ran through my Big Shot with a sunflower embossing folder.  Here's a close up of this one...

Sunflowers are a favorite flower of one of my daughters, and she's having a birthday in a week, so at least one of these will be going to her!  Hope your weekend was wonderful, and that this coming week will be inspiring!  

Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
