Just Us Girls #194 - Photo Inspiration Challenge

Hi all!  I'm a little late with my Just Us Girls post, but I've been busy enjoying my first days of summer vacation!  I headed right for my cabin on Friday afternoon after leaving school for a couple of days, then went to my friend Maria's for a girls gone wild pool party!  It really wasn't wild, but we girls had a fun time!
 
Vicki is our hostess with the mostess this week, and I think she has chosen my most favorite photo of all to date!  I love sunflowers (take a look at my blog header!), so even though I'm a few days late for the challenge, I had to get one done!

I chose this fabulous Sunflowers stamp set from Flourishes.  It's great because all the shading is done for you.  Their flower sets are amazing!  I just love them!  I stamped the image twice then cut out the flower part with a circle nestie keeping the circular theme of the photo.  I colored both images with copic markers then mounted the circle onto the main image with dimensionals.  The dp is Graphic 45.  I added lots of layers and Star Dust Stickles on the flower center and the ladybugs.  A button and some ribbon and I was done!

Stop by these blogs to see more fabulous inspiration.
 
 
Thanks for stopping by!
