-Polished stone technique was done for the colorful panel.
-Ink distressing is done on all but the black panel and sunflower.
-Sunflower and leaves are colored with re inker and artist brush, cut out, black marker along the edge and the flower and left leaf mounted on foam.
Why do I love using sunflowers – they remind of my Dad and being back home on the farm in Kansas. This will be a good fall card for my Mom along with a phone card; she the only parent I have left.

You have the Polished Stone technique down to perfection. Very pretty card! I like how you used one bg stamp on top and another on bottom but all same colors. Nicely done.
