Sunflower image by Pattie G. and CTMH Card Class 7/9/13

My mother and I have been enjoying watching our sunflowers grow this summer.  I purchased a sunflower seed mat from friends who were raising money for their Relay for Life team.  I planted half here and the other half at Mom's.   Hers are much larger than mine.  Just hoping they will feed a few birds this fall.
Thinking of You
I've been meaning to make a card with this digi image, one of Pattie's Creations available on Etsy.  Every time I see Pattie's smiling face on her blog, I can't get over the resemblance to one of my childhood friends, Linda.  It almost makes me feel like I know Pattie.  I do know she has some cute digis and she usually has freebies the 1st Friday of the month.


  After coloring I added a thin layer of clear glitter gel to the butterfly wings for bit of shine.  The white lace is by Reflections and is self stick.   I made a small bow with Autumn Spice ribbon that I got from LoveBug Creations and placed it on top of 2 die cut scalloped ovals that were glued together and dry embossed.  I used some Dotty Paper from Close to My Heart. (It was a promotional pack of DP, unfortunately no longer available, but I do have some bits and pieces left.)  The 2 squares were done the same way.  And the card itself is kraft paper.
I followed the sketch from The Rubber Buggy Challenge #8:
 
(The RB post says it's Challenge #8; the sketch says #6.)

This card is on its way to a dear friend in Arizona, after I enter it in the following challenges:
