So, for today's project, I decided to use the Sunflower wrapped bundle from the Sunny Harvest set. I stamped the image onto decorative paper first and cut out the "wrapping" and pieced it onto an already colored image that I had stamped with Tuxedo Black (Memento) onto Cryogen White card stock. I wanted to give it a look of being wrapped in newspaper.
Here's a close up of the sunflowers and wrapping. I should let you know, that I after I had colored all the flowers, I colored over all the blooms with E31 to mute them in order to fit the rustic papers I used in my card.
