This is for today's Inspiration Challenge 164 where you had to use a Lang Calendar for your Inspiration. Once I saw the sunflower calendar it was obvious what set I'd use! I used my favorite set, Serene Sunflower and cut out a sunflower and three leaves as well as the brown center. They are popped up with a dimensional. I used versa mark on the choc chip card stock with the leaf. I used the Holiday Treasure paper for next to the choc chip. Then I added marigold to that. The sunflowers have celery sponged around them to soften the white card stock. I added blessed stamped in choc chip and sponged caramel on top of it. That's how I got the color in the flower center. I stamped it with choc chip them stamped again with caramel. The blessed was punched out using the small oval then the large oval was choc chip paper. Hope you like it. I know I sure loved doing it!

Very pretty! I love sunflowers and yours are gorgeous. All of your tedious cutting paid off -I love the center flower popped up like that.

Oh yes, I like this. I love the popped up sunflower. I know how much work it takes cutting out so many petals! But oh so worth it. The colors are so complimentary. Very pretty.
