No Christmas card for me this time. I made this card for Friends of Speedy TV (FOSTV). http://mfpspeedytv.ning.com/ The challenge #9 this week is to use your favorite sketch. I'm not sure I have a favorite but I sure love this one. It is SC349 here on SCS.
I'm using a Mark's Finest Papers, A Heinrich Company stamp set called Black Eye Susans for Encouragement. I stamped the image twice, colored, cut the blooms away from the stems and popped them on my panel. I didn't use a sentiment but think it will work for many occasions.

I know what you mean, sometimes it is better w/out a sentiment so you can use it for any occasion. Your 3-D flowers came out amazing and love that layout, colors and dp. Way 2 go OL Benz!

...sure it�s got a catchy beat, but can you stamp to it?

Love this sketch and your colors are so fun. It is refreshing to see a non-Christmas card. I am starting to long for the switch when we all move on toward the next season in our card-making. These flowers are wonderful. Great job Benzi - I am still looking for your celebratory card (Roll Tide).... hugz!

I love these Black Eyed Susans. Your sketch is fabulous and is perfect to highlight those pretty flowers. Your design paper is so pretty. I am always in awe of Black Eyed Susan or Sunflower colored in yellow/gold highlighted with red or blue. It's a dynamic combination.

I'm so far behind on commenting on galleries. I'll just take it a bit at a time and move along. This card is beautiful - such rich colours. I love how those Black Eyed Susans pop off the card. This is a great sketch.
