Here's a fun card I just made for a friend who is a self-proclaimed sunflower girl. 

Supplies:
Sunflower background stamp
More Mustard Classic Ink Stampin' Pad
Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Marker
Whisper White, Garden Green, More Mustard and Chocolate Chip card stock
Scallop Oval and Large Oval punches
"Thanks" sentiment is from the Rue Des Fleurs set (Occasions Mini 2012)

To get the stipple effect on the sunflower center: 
First, ink the entire stamp with the More Mustard Ink Pad.  Make sure the stamp is well inked to get all the beautiful details on the petals.
Next, take the brush end of the Chocolate Chip marker and with the side of the brush, mix the Chocolate Chip ink with the More Mustard in the flower center. 
Stipple the edges of the center with the side of the brush, along where the petals join the center and the stamens fluff out along the edge. 
Give the whole stamp a few foggy breaths to keep the ink moist and stamp on the Whisper White card stock. 

Hope you enjoy!

Petite Purse - vintage style

Another short and sweet blog - I just bought the Petite Purse Bigz L die from Stampin' Up and have been having loads of fun with it.  This one I'm working on a bit of a vintage feel.  It could use a few tweaks, but I'm liking it so far.   One recommendation I have is to use Sticky Strip to adhere it together, the bond is much stronger than regular SNAIL adhesive.

Supplies:

Petite Purse Bigz L die

Victoria Crochet trim

En Francais background stamp

Natural Ivory card stock

Cherry Cobbler card stock

Blossom Builder punch

Sticky Strip

It's great for little gifts - I made one the other day for a birthday "card" for a 5yr old girl's birthday party in Island Indigo and Pumpkin Pie and filled it with little chocolates - and gave it away before photographing it.
