Jen is our Teapot Challenge hostess and we are sending cards of encouragement to Susan whose favorite color is blue. Jen challenged us to include a camping theme so I made a tent topper card. Iâm also playing in the Mix-Ability Challenge where Polly asked us to use lines on our cards.
I stamped, clear embossed and die cut the sunflowers and stenciled the plaid using a blending brush. I die cut the word Sunshine multiple times, stacked them and added Wink of Stella. The word Wishes was computer generated and popped up.
Thank you, Jen and Polly, for hosting! Karen, I hope that Susan will be greatly uplifted by our encouraging cards.

I really like the blue flowers on this and they work so well for the tent topper design. I'm sure she'll enjoy getting this little bit of sunshine in her mailbox!

Ohh I love those beautiful blue sunflowers! They look so regal over the plaid background, and kudos for making a tent topper card (haven’t tried this one yet)!

Sunflowers always make a person smile, but I bet your blue ones will make Susan beam. Beautiful blooms and they look fab highlighted in your tent topper. Ideal sentiment to pair with them too. Love the plaid -- great stenciling. Wonderful card.

I'm sorry I missed this one. It's so pretty, I love it and I know Susan will too. She has been loving all these paper hugs. Thank you for sending to her.
EDIT 6/8 - I love the sticker you made for the envelope - what a cool idea! Your card is so pretty.
