I decided to do this card in all rusts and yellows. My stamp sets are the big sunflower and Well Scripted. I used a technique for the background where I glued a book page on to white card stock, embossed this with the lattice embossing folder and then spritzed it with my homemade shimmer mist. Then I sponged rust ink over this whole piece to give different shades.
The butterfly trim is lace I purchased in Curacao at a little fabric store. I stamped the sunflower with rust and then sponged a few shades of yellow, orange and brown on it. Since it was too big for the card, I simply cut off the corner until I liked the fit.Hope you visit Sketch Frenzy Friday this weekend and please, I would appreciate any comments you may have.
Happy weekend!!
