Sunflowers in December

Are you tired of making Christmas cards yet? For me, the time for making them is over and the time for sending and receiving them has arrived. This morning I've packed away all my Christmas crafting bits (although I've not put them far away, as my granddaughter is sure to want to use them when the school holidays start) and my thoughts have started turning to something more summery.

And what can be more summery than sunflowers? For this card I've used two papers from the CD "Linda Luckin Designs Background Papers" and a stamp designed by Linda to co-ordinate with the papers (sadly  the CD and stamp are no longer available).

I wanted to keep the layout simple, to make the most of the lovely papers, so I had a browse through my Pinterest "Sketches" board, where I pin any interesting looking sketches for possible future use, and came up with a nice bold sketch that worked well with the large pattern on  the papers.
