I started out with white cardstock and colored the sunflowers with my Spectrum noir markers. The biggest sunflower in the set has a separate center that I embossed and added to the center of the flower, the smaller ones I colored through the holes in the die to get the brown center. Shaped the flowers and leaves a bit, the embossing in the leaves is part of the die set.
The sentiment tag is out of the same die set as the framing , sponged the center while the paper was still inside the die, and added a bit of bling.

Queen & co. -- Sunflower yellow gems
Thanks so much for stopping by today and letting me know you did,

Your sunflowers are stunning! Perfect Fall Birthday card! Love it!!!
I am a huge lover of sunflowers but don't plant them, I enjoy everyone else's!! Your card is beautiful, bright and cheerful!!
Pretty! The sunflowers look really great on the black mat!
Sunflowers are such cheerful flowers! I have tried to plant them in the past but the squirrels and groundhogs would nibble them up before they would bloom.
Oh! Connie, your sunflowers are cute and happy! Beautiful card design with such pretty colors and die cuts! XXOO
I love sunflowers, too, Connie! Such a pretty card! One year I grew hundreds of them for my daughter's wedding and I had to cover them with netting to keep the critters away. I went through so much netting that year....sending hugs xo Karen
Such a bright & beautiful card. I love sunflowers too, but never tried growing them as such :) The die looks really pretty.
my garden completed when i got sunflowers in it .
card is lovely
Beautiful card Connie. Great choice of dies for this card. Love the frame and the flowers.
Such a pretty creation Connie! Don't give up planting them ... yes they are beautiful. There are products at your home improvement store to deter these little varmints without harm ... and it works! The birds (or squirrels) planted a sunflower along my driveway a couple years ago and it was beautiful ... I left it there till end of fall and the birds came and enjoyed the 'fruits of their labors' before I pulled it out of the ground. Was found to watch it's progress ...
There's my sunflowers! They look fabulous here, but even better in person. Thank you, Connie! Sunflowers sprout up here from the bird seed, but they're always in a shady spot and no chance that they'll do well. The birds sure do love sunflower seeds!
Oh, Connie, what a gorgeous card with one of my favorite flowers! These are gorgeous, and what a beautiful layout! Yes, squirrels are also a nuisance when trying to grow these flowers, so you might want to think about putting them in a protected area from them. But they sure are lovely as they turn to keep facing the sun! Hugs, sweet friend! xoxo
Wonderful card! I love everything about it! Great job!
Hi Connie, that is a beautiful card. I'm drawn to sunflowers, probably my love of yellow and brown lol. Great job!
I love sunflowers and this card is so pretty.
Gorgeous card there, Can nine, love sunflowers too. Could you rabbit proof the bed with chicken wire planted under the soils too so,they can't dig under it?
l just a thought ... I use chicken wire to stop the brush turkeys digging up our gardens they love our mulch.hugs,Shaz in Oz.x
I love sunflowers Connie, and your card is just gorgeous! Beautiful frame die too.
Sunflowers always make me smile ... and seeing this card did too.
I love the design.
All the best Jan
One of my favorite flowers...even the name is so cheery! Your card is gorgeous, and I love your idea of coloring the brown dots using the die.
Sunflowers always put a smile on my face. They are so sunny and cheery, aren't they. Your card is lovely, Connie.
