I've been having fun playing with bows - thanks to a wonderful tutorial by Becca - and I've got one on this card - it worked a treat. I started off by making my own gingham backing - a perfect match to the sunflower. I stamped the sunflower three times - using two of the images to make layers. The images were all coloured with Promarkers. I cut the base image out using my trusty nesties and also made a mat from the coordinating scalloped set. Before attaching the image, I tied on some raffia ribbon and did the bow! So proud of that bow! You might be seeing few more bows now that I can do them :) Finally, I added a sweet flower shaped sentiment which I think goes with the flower perfectly!

Love the combination of raffia with those colours & the sunflower is a beauty. The time thief imp is rampaging & Richard is trying to deal with the dust impregnated carpet thus sending my clouds of more, bookselling duty today.
