Sending Sunshine Blog Hop

Hello, friends! Today I am participating in a blog hop honoring Jeanie Ellis. Jeanie has been going through a rough patch in life, so some of her blogging and crafting friends have come together to send her well-wishes! Our theme is "Sending Sunshine", so I went with a sunflower card. Take a peek...

I used some beautiful products sent to me from Inlovearts for this card, specifically the Mesh Weaving Circles dies and Oil Painting Style Sunflower stamps. The cardstock, inks, bling, and ribbon are all from The Stamps of Life.

If you would like to know how to create a woven ribbon border like I have created here, please head over to my YouTube channel and watch THIS VIDEO!

I really love this card, and I very much hope that it brought joy to Jeanie's day. Jeanie, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that you will feel peace during this difficult time, and know that I am here for you, as are the rest of us participating today!
