I love sunflowers! Here is my submission for today's Ways to Use it Challenge. We were to use our state flower or country flower or its colors on our card. I dug out an two old Su! sets. The Sunflower image came by itself and the sentiment is from a set called You Are My Sunshinel I used the marker to stamp technique. These are the first markers I ever bought from SU! More Mustard, Garden Green and Chocolate Chip, just so I could color this sunflower image! Then I used the Air Art Tool to achieve the air-brushed effects. You put the marker in and squeeze the rubber ball to spritz! Happy 4th! TFL

I love the way you stamped the panel and then used the decorative die to cut it - that looks super. Thanks for bringing back memories of sunflower fields in France!!

I love sunflowers (I have that quote in a stamp as well). My daughter had sunflowers for her wedding and it was gorgeous! I love the way you framed yours in the circular die cuts - pretty card!
