Another card using some card candy Loll Thompson had sent me last year. LOVE the sunflowers! This card is for my step-dad's birthday card stash, so I skipped the square layout of my last card to save him from needing extra postage.
For this one, I decided how large of an area I needed for my sentiment and flower and first made my score lines above and below to define the focal space. Stamped the sentiment and attached the sunflower and leaves. Used my clear Wink of Stella pen to cover the flower center and the tips of the petals and leaves -- so sparkly IRL!
Matted to Always Artichoke panel and onto my card base.
Easy peasy!
Edited to add: After posting the original picture, I decided to add a 3rd leaf and add some tiny gemstones I had in my stash. Still CAS, but a little more dressed up.

Fabulous design Debbie. Love how you brought attention to the focal with your score lines - perfect! Looks like you are loving your WofS pen! I knew you would!

I thought your sunflower looked familiar.... I bought that die because of Loll's card candy she had posted a while back.... Love how you used it as your focal point with just a sentiment... But I do love the bling you added for that little extra too.... well done Debbie
