A Little Ray Of Sunshine

Hello

I hope you're having a good day.

One of my favourite flowers is the Sunflower, they are such bright and cheery flowers and when I look at them I have to smile.  Some years ago, I grew lots of different types and colours of sunflowers and filled the borders with them.  They looked stunning and we got so many comments about them.  When they had finished flowering, I kept lots of the seeds and added them to homemade bread.  They taste delicious.  Sadly my gardening days are behind me now, as are my bread making come to that!

Anyway, sorry for the waffle, I'll now show you my card for today:

I bet you're smiling now aren't you?

This is, of course, the gorgeous Teddy Bea, who has been coloured using Spectrum Noir pens.  She is then sat on a brown mat which has been placed onto a Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Rectangle cut from Core'dinations card.  The mini sentiment panel at the bottom is a section from a Darice embossing folder with a gold sentiment added. The brown card has also been embossed using a Darice embossing folder.

The little snowflakes are quilled.  There is a new challenge over at Joanna Sheen's forum and this month it is to try quilling, so I decided to incorporate it into my card.

The card follows the sketch over at Fetch a Sketch and is also for the following challenges:
