SMILING FLOWERS..

 Hello everyone,

If I didn't know any better, I would say that I'm in heavy Autumn, except there are very cold little blossoms on my tree, as the weather here is crazy..it is blowing and raining and wet, and cold, and Holly is not happy, her outside dirt box is wet, even the neighbors dirt is damp so she gets very wet when it is tinkle time..

Onto a happy time, with a happy flower, sunflowers..

I cut and coloured and layer the flower up..

See..

then added the center, but wanted more..

So I coloured it deeply with brown markers..

Then the flowers were too light for me so added extra colour onto those..

used a stem from another set..

and thought about using the five...

flipped my base and went with two..maybe.

Flipped again went with three...nope.

So while making the final decision which took 3 days,

I started on the background with these wonderful papers.. 

Needed dark brown hearts..and

 coloured them black because they dry back quite a bit.

So all my bits together, time for gluing..

Die cut and embossed these cute fences with a gate..

added the hearts..

Then started adding black Nuvo drops for the sunflower seeds..

one little dot at a time, and learned my lesson by letting them dry in between as the blighters can run together if too close.

But it all went well and DONE!..

made it into a happy birthday card..

so there you go,

Thank you so much for stopping by,

I'll see you tomorrow..

Luv CHRISSYxx
