Sunflowers with Eyecatching Ikat

Stampin' Up's new photopolymer sets are the business! That's my verdict after a bit of a play this morning when I used Eyecatching Ikat (free as part of this promotion) and found that this set is fabulous  - and not just for those super trendy ikat designs either! Come and see:

Sunflowers are also all the rage at the moment! These sunflowers and leaves were stamped in a cluster using Eyecatching Ikat, cut out with my sharp paper snips and attached to a panel trimmed with one of my labels framelits.

I wanted a little dimension, so I made more flowers and popped them up over the originals. I'm old enough to remember the last time sunflowers were everywhere but the chevron trim adds a lovely fresh twist.

I was inspired today by Less is More, where the theme is flowers; The Paper Players who also want to see CAS flowers; ATCAS where Off the Edge is the code phrase this week; and, last but not least, the gorgeous sketch at CAS(E) this Sketch:

Sunflowers are amazing although I'm not a fan of them in my tiny garden. Once, when my daughter was a little girl, she and a friend had a tea party in the garden. They loved pouring 'tea' (water) from a toy teapot and I gave them some little fairy sized nibbles including some sunflower seeds. My daughter later confessed that the seeds were spilled during the course of the afternoon but the following year I couldn't understand why we kept getting rogue sunflowers growing in my flower beds!

See you tomorrow,
