CIC172 - Sunflowers

Oh yum!  Are these adorable or what?  AND the flower centers are Oreo cookies - Oh My!  I tell I can't get over how every week the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge comes up with another outrageous cuppie.  Too stinkin' cute. 

This week the sponsor is Scrapper's Delight.  They've got some great digi images there, pop over and check it out.  I think the image I chose is perfect for this week's challenge but I'm sure you can find plenty of things you like while you're there.  Besides nobody says you have to use flowers on your card, just be inspired by the photo.

Besides the flowers I liked the color scheme and tried to stay close to it. 

The ribbon ruffle that's under the image has been altered to work with the card.  It started out as a bright green and white gingham check which looked a little too bright to me.  To make it look subtler I put it in a plastic bag and added a few drops of copic ink (E40).  The ink is alcohol based so it took very little time to dry.  I'm very happy with the results.

Here's some of the things you may not notice.  The button are stacked, large yellow buttons with smaller green ones on top, one of them is an adorable heart.  There's a flower charm hanging off the pearl cotton cord.  The corner brads are made to look like buttons.

Here's the deets:
