For today's blog hop us Design Team members found inspiration from this sketch which was created by our Leah..

This is what I created:

My mom and I went picking sunflowers last Saturday and I snapped a few photos of her and she was trying to jump out of the view of the camera..LOL  I finally told her to stay still and she got all goofy on me.. So, the photo is of my mom standing in front of the field of sunflowers..

I created my own sunflowers using one of the files I found in the SIL sotre.. I wanted a furry look to the centers and so added some glossy accents and some antique copper micro beads..
and let me just say, those little things went everywhere.. no clean way to handle those at all :)

I also added some butterflies and small flowers I punched out with my Fiskars punch.. lots of pink stickles on the wings of the butterflies..

I also decided to grab some pearls from my stash, that I've been hoarding onto and I also got to use one of my Martha Stewart deep edge punches :)

close up of the stickles on the butterfly, plus I rubbed some texture paste to the edge of the layout, just to soften it up a it..  All of the flowers and leaves have been inked with distress inks.


Now, I have some fun challenge information:

Happy Hopping ya'll
