Celebrate Sunflowers for As You See It Challenges

I'm continuing to play with my pre-order this week and having a great time with it. I thought I'd have to stop for my biweekly Design Team sample for As You See It Challenges, but this week is a colour challenge and when I saw the colours and looked at one of the stamp sets that I hadn't used yet, I saw that the two worked together beautifully!

The palette of Daffodil Delight, Call Me Clover and Soft Suede was perfect for a sunflower, and the Lovely Lipstick would work either as the sentiment or as extra flowers thrown in the mix with the sunflower. Here's how it worked out:

• Although there are coordinating **Sunflower Dies that I could have used to create the sunflower, I opted to stamp the sunflower in Daffodil Delight. The image is from the **Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set. It's the large sunflower, not the smaller one.                  
• I removed the ink from the center with a Q-tip and added some Soft Suede via a Stampin' Write Soft Suede Marker. After huffing on the stamp to moisten the ink again, I stamped the image on Whisper White cardstock. Then I added some Daffodil Delight *Light Stampin' Blends Marker to enhance the colour in the petals, but still left lots of white space.
• I stamped the three leaves in *Call Me Clover, and used the ***Light Stampin' Blends Mint Macaron Marker to fill in a little more colour.
• The grasses you see are die cut from *Call Me Clover and Soft Suede cardstock and the dies are from the **Sunflower Dies coordinated with this stamp set.
• I stamped the sentiment, also from **Celebrate Sunflowers, on Whisper White and cut it into a narrow 3/4" strip. Then I used the new **Lovely Labels Pick a Punch to shape each end. I used a 1" wide strip of *Lovely Lipstick cardstock, punched with the same side of the punch to create a backing for it. These two were glued together then added to the card front using dimensionals, as shown.   
• The card base is Soft Suede cardstock, while the background layer is some of the **In Good Taste Designer Series Paper described in a previous post on Monday.
