Hi! This card was made for today's Color Combination Challenge: So Saffron, Close To Cocoa and Bashful Blue.
Well, I have to admit, So Saffron is my LEAST favorite color by SU! And, it's not for the reason you may think....When I was a brand new demo, my first and BIGGEST mistake was when I ordered 22 packs of So Saffron instead of 2 packs! Well, you know, EVERY stamp camp, workshop, and school project for over 6 months had So Saffron front and center! LOL!
The flowers are Spellbinders Shapabillities. I cut them out in white and used my Copic airbrush to color them in. They are a perfect match to So Saffron. (I had to layer 3 yellows to achieve that color.) The centers were done with 3 browns. The top leaves are a Sizzix die. The backgrounds were run through a Cuttlebug Embossing folder.

I love it, and your story about the 22 packages of paper. That sounds so like something I would do!!!! I ended up with 3 River Rock ink pads, when I thought I ordered 3 packages of river rock cardstock. I just got off under the wrong row of numbers!!! Like you, I just kept them. Now they are my door prizes anytime I need one.

Oh Faith, I thought I was having a time of it trying to use up 2 pkgs of Tangerine Tango! ....LOL!
I can not imagine 22 pkgs.
Well, your Sunflower card is darling!...have you been able to deplete the inventory of SS?
I enjoy your cards and your stories always put a smile on my face!
TFS,
