Hi everyone, I couldn't get on the internet~computer doing goofy things. Finally got it to work after shutting it down four times! Computers can drive you crazy! lol
This is for Hannah's great challenge to use a lunch sack. I used a brown sack from JoAnn's. I stamped the sunflower image directly on to the sack, colored with colored pensils. I ran the whole thing thru a CB ef. I didn't do any blending~afraid the paper wouldn't hold up. Cut out with a Spellbinder. Add two red buttons and three gingham ribbon tabs. I used a tracing wheel(like Sweet Miss Daisy uses) for the faux stitching on the yellow panel. Stamped the senitment. TFL
Hugs Linda
I will be back tomarrow nite to comment.

Linda, your card is filled with country charm. Your sunflowers are so lovely on the paper from the bag. The embossing adds such a great textural interest.

Your pencil coloring doesn't need any water added, it all looks great just the way it is! Perfect ef for these pretty sunflowers, and you tied in the reds so beautifully!

Fabulous sunflower. Great coloring. I'm not sure I would've blended either. Love that you embossed it sack too. The buttons and the gingham tabs - perfect!

Computers can definitely drive you crazy! Especially when you have a card ready to upload! LOL!
I LOVE sunflowers and this card is just fabulous. I love how you embossed your paper bag frame with a woodgrain folder. Beautiful work.
