Bella Nella's Summer Celebration

I'm linking up today with  Nelly @http://nellybeepaperprojects.blogspot.com/ for her Summer Celebration-Keep it going.

Hope you had a wonderful birthday Nelly---got everything you wished for.

My project reflects the Kansas Sunflower.  It grows profusely along the highways here in the midwest.  It blooms all summer long. 

I used cardstock for the bottom layer.  I secured a baby wipe with glue on top of that. I used watercolors and spotted it with yellow and blue.  I found a new sunflower stamp and stamped the top with an embossing pad and then used green embossing powder for the leaves.  I also used a gold leafing pen for the flower petals.

On top I added a couple of pearl brads and used yellow fiber for a hanger.

Hope you enjoy my flowers-wish they could bloom all year long.

Lovely Sunflower! The one sunflower grower in CA went out of business and we are having a terrible time getting the large gray ones for our bird!

That is really pretty. I would have never thought about using a baby wipe, but now I may have to try it! It was a pleasure visiting your blog and I signed on to follow you.

I look forward to reading more!
