Happy Independence Day weekend to all my US friends! (and a belated Happy Canada Day to my Canadian pals)
We've got a Red, White and Blue Patriotic Theme for Mark's Finest Papers Speedy's Challenge this week, and here is my rather unusual card:
Blue sunflowers never happen in nature, but then neither do faces on the flowers, so I thought, "Why not?"
I had fun pulling out my Copic markers for this card. The stamp set, Planted with Love, has some other cute images on it, too, like a watermelon seed packet. But a watermelon would've looked REALLY weird in blue. ;)
Come play with us! Link up your card HERE by Friday, July 8, 2011 by 3 PM EST.
Have a wonderful weekend!

Lovely card Colleen. I really like that image and I love how you used the patriotic colors! Just perfect.
Sweet card, Colleen...those little blue sunflowers are adorable! Great arrangement of colors, too...it's so bright and cheery!

That is one of the joys of making out own cards-they can be anything we want. Love your cute happy face flowers!

Colleen--this is so adorable. I love taking liberty with the colors I use to color images. I even made an orange chickadee once! So your blue sunflowers are just perfect for a patriotic card!
