Sunflower Season

I am excited to be sharing two cards with you today (one in this post, with another post this evening) for Stamp Simply's New Summer Release!  I *love* these stamp sets!  The images are absolutely gorgeous, and the sentiments are wonderful scriptures or encouraging words that coordinate perfectly.  The dies make cutting these images so easy!

My teammate Darsie has made a video showcasing the stamps and dies in this release.  I know you'll enjoy watching!

Sunflowers just make me happy!  This stamp makes a beautiful focal point for a card that POPS with all those sunny yellows and rich golden browns!  I added a little bit of sparkle with some Wink of Stella to the seeds in the center.  If you look closely you can see that the designer paper text says "from little things, big things grow."  I thought that went so perfectly with this image!

Here you can see the coordinating verse for the inside which completes the rest of the verse that was stamped on the card front.  I just love this verse from Ecclesiastes!  (I have to admit that I have a hard time just reading it...every time I have to sing it because the song by the Byrds starts playing in my head!)

Here are the links to this gorgeous set, and to the supplies I used to make my cards:

• Stamp Simply Clear Stamps Sunflower Season Combo (stamps and dies)
