Sunflowers bring sunshine.......

Hi everyone, hope you're enjoying your weekend.
We've had a very lazy day.......I'm ashamed to say it was midday when I got dressed, and this lappy has been on my knee almost the whole day, although I did manage to pop into my craft room and make one card. Now we're just chilling after a lovely steak and a bottle of wine, so thought I'd blog my first card using the gorgeous 'Sunflower' stamp from Oak House Studio
If you pop over to the Oak House Studio page  on Facebook, there is the chance to win this stamp.
Thought I'd kick off with a very simple 'Clean and Simple' card tonight.



I stamped 'off the page' onto a 3" square of 'linen' card and coloured in with inks.
When dry, I triple embossed only the flower, and stamped the sentiment.



I have millions of seed bead in all colours, so thought the black ones would be great for the centre of the sunflower......you might see these beads a lot more in future cards ;-)




I love the clean effect of this type of card, and feel very comfortable leaving loads of empty white card, epecially when it's the gorgeous 'linen' card from Papermill







Would love to know what you think of it.
Please don't forget to go to the OHS facebook page..... all you have to do is like, share and comment to be in the Sunflower stamp giveaway
Catch you all tomorrow,
Barbara xx
