Fiesta Sunflowers

Quick technique: To achieve the two-toned sunflowers I used a sponge dauber and randomly sponged ink onto the stamp with the new a muse studio Fiesta colors Violeta and Hibiscus then just stamped onto white card stock.  
The sentiment is heat embossed with our pearl embossing powder but it looks more silver in the photo.  Added some of our Heather Baker's Cording and frayed the ends.

Let's Fill 2015 with Blessings!

What kind of a year do you think we'd all have if we would wake up every morning asking ourselves "who can I bless today?..."?
I bet it would be an amazing year that's for sure!
Wishing you all many, many blessings for 2015 and that you give even more than you receive.

Our Navy Polka Dot card stock makes a great snowy background and like all of a muse studio card stock it's white on the inside which is one of my favorite features.  Below is a peek at the inside too.  (The blues actually match better IRL, not sure why the photo looks so different.)
