Simply Sunflowers

I was a bit stressed out for my first Stamp Club meeting.  Would the projects be fun enough?  Easy enough? Challenging enough?  Etc etc etc...

Well, this card was simple enough but still had some some techniques that not everyone had tried before.  I first saw a similar version by another Stampin' Up Demo and just loved it. 

I'm a bit addicted to sponging around edges of almost all things card making.  Whenever I think a card needs a smidgen of tweaking....it pretty much ALWAYS includes sponging around the edges.  Instead of adding a mat around a project, this technique allows a bit of contrast, but still gives a soft texture to the card.  I love it.
