Sunflowers?

Well I feel that I have been a bit of a bad blogger recently...I've had sooooooo much on, work is a bit mad, and then there was my class this weekend to prepare for and if that wasn't enough I hosted a shoe box swap this weekend too! (photos to follow) A LOT of preparation was needed for those two things so there has been little time for anything else but I am back today with a vengeance! I have made about 10 cards today!

Here is the Sketch and Stash challenge sketch...


...combined with the 'Sunflowers' challenge over on Daring Cardmakers. Sunflowers? I wasn't sure where to start with that one so I raided my stash for some goodies and here is what I came up with...



My neglected stash item is pretty much everything on this card! The flowers for one but most especially the glittery yellow flowers background paper which I have had for years but never found a use for!

  1. We are always glad to enable the use of old stash (gives an excuse for new stash). This is a lovely card Niki. Thanks for Daring with DCM :)

  4. It’s a shame that most of the things you’ve used were ‘forgotten’ stash because put together they’ve made one fab card.

    Thanks for joining in with the dare this week.
