Hello Everyone. IT's another beautiful day in WI. I had other things to do, but couldn't keep away from today's Inspiration challenge. We were to be inspired by the Crate Label Museum and I chose one of the samples which is the sunflower in the center and also the link to the Lemon Labels
I remember lots of these crates growing up. I love sunflowers and that's why I chose the one I did.
The image is Inkadinkado and I hadnt' used it in a LONG time. I stamped it with Stazon Olive Green, colored it with colored pencils, and attached it with brads. Also inked the edges.
It's mounted on Imagine That textured CS - both colors. I added two ribbons on the bottom - one with the sentiment which came with the ribbon. tfl

Lov the vintage feeling of your card! A goodly number of us were drawn to that bright sunflower on the royal blue bg. I love how you interpreted it into this beautiful card!

This is so pretty. I love sunflowers and you picked the perfect stamp for the vintage feel.. You should also add this to the Central Theme challenge (CT0410) for this months DD. Since it is vintage it fits perfectly.. Great job.
