Sunflower Bucket

      My stash of Thank You cards is getting low and I have a friend who has asked me to make several for her so I'm ramping up production of them.  I'm starting with this lovely sunflower image from Beccy's Place. 

     I used ProMarkers and gel pens to color and highlight the image.  I had merged the sentiment (also from Beccy's Place) before printing.  After coloring, I cut both of them with a QuicKutz square die and then used a Fiskars punch on three of the corners.  I dry embossed some metallic paper and used it behind the punched corners.

     The sparkly ribbons are both from Really Reasonable Ribbon, and I tied the bow using my bow maker.  I think this will make a perfect Autumn themed thank you card.

Sunflower Gnome

     Gnomes two days in a row!  Anyone would think I like them.  :-D  Today's gnome is called "Sunflower Gnome" and it's new from Conie Fong, her first gnome ever.  This is also her first png set but it also comes in jpg if you prefer..  It is a set of three images plus two sentiments and it's ON SALE!!

     I also added a new Sun image and Conie has done 6 of those, available right now as freebies on the Facebook page (but only until August 11 so hurry!)  If you don't belong, join now.  It's free and very simple.  Once you are on the Discussion page at the FB site, click on "Photos", then "Albums", and do a long scroll all the way down (almost to the bottom) and look for the "Freebie Member Celebration" album.  If you download the images in that album, you'll have Conie Fong images to use for an entry into one of this month's challenges - either Coloring Only or Completed Projects.
