Sunflowers Thinking of You Card

Here is my latest creation.....

It is for a new challenge blog I joined - The Outlawz Challenges. There is a group called the creative freebie challenge where they give you two digital stamps and you must make something out of at least one of them.
So I have digitally stamped the sunflowers by Sandi Huggett on to X-Press It paper, then coloured with Copics (mostly from LimeTart).
I used:

• leaves: YG03, YG63, YG67
• sunflowers: Y02, YR07, Y28, E37
• background: B000

I also used a black Copic Multi liner to add detail to the flower centres.

The coloured sunflowers were fussy cut and adhered to the card with pop dots.

I also coloured a piece of ribbon (Celebrate, Spotlight) with YR07 and some self adhesive rhinestones (KaiserCraft) with YG67.

As the ribbon extended to the inside of the card, I have covered the ends with a piece of green check patterned origami paper (Daiso).

Thinking of you (Hero Arts, Clear Design Thinking of You Messages) is stamped with VersaMark Watermark ink (Tsukineko), sprinkled with Zing! black glitter finish embossing powder (American Crafts Brand) and then heat embossed - yes, this is the first time that I have heat embossed something! It was fun!!!

The card is blank inside, other than the green gingham paper and a white envelope is included. Both card and envelope from Envelope Solutions.

This card will be linked up to The Outlawz Challenges blog and will be available for sale in my Etsy shop: JemLou Productions. Click here for the link.

I used a kraft card and envelope.
I digitally created a scene from Watercan Marci, the bee and "Bee Happy" sentiment, the fence and sunflowers from La-La Land Crafts. Then I printed it on x-press it paper and coloured it with Copics pens.
The pens I used were:
