Papertrey Ink April 2016 Blog Hop

Hello! 

I am once again participating in the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop.

Inspirational Photo
I was drawn to the shapes and the colors, the different shades.  I stamped off once before stamping my images in each color.
 

 
I used the Papertrey Ink sets; Simple Sunflowers (stamp and dies) and the Swoosh die set.   Inks in Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Black Licorice.  Background stamped in Versa Mark ink and Clear Embossing Powder.  

 
Layered Hello die cuts.  Crystal Drops in Ebony (these things are AHmazing!)  Gingham Ribbon, Jute Twine and Button for accents.  I love that sweet little Sunflower Charm.
 
I will also be entering this card into the Challenge at Simon Says Monday, Show Us Your Metal.
