Inspired by JulieHRR's neat daisy card using an oval stamp to create the leaves of the flower...I thought it would work well to use the oval punches to create this sunflower.
I'm loving this BG - I've had it for almost a month and didn't mount it until yesterday...I didn't know what I was missing!
ETA: Thanks for all of your nice compliments on this card...I have to thank JulieHRR again as she was my inspiration. A couple of answers to your questions about this BG...I inked it up the "normal" way (using the classic pad directly on the BG stamp) and then followed up with an inked up sponge directly on the stamp to smooth out any lines left by the pad. It's intended to have a very worn look (hence the name ) so I don't think SU intended for the image to ever be "crisp." HTH!

This is such a cool idea glad I thought of that flower! Well, anyway I thought I first. You have to check out the sketch challenge 105 and my card in the second post. I thought I was cool until I saw you did it first!
It is a striking flower that is for sure and I have to find Julie's daisy now, thanks for tip on that one!

Great look! I also saw the cone flower in your gallery. Both are in my favorites and I'm going to look up the daisy one too! This site is such an inspiration to me! Wish I had enough time to make everything I like! TFS!
