Beautiful Sunflowers

I found these sunflower images in bottom of a box that Gecko Galz were selling for Ukraine a couple of years ago and made a card using a tutorial a FB friend sent me, b,papers from stash.Card folds flat into a 6" envelope.

EDIT--- Spent all day yesterday at hospital with hubby-he had a small heart attack and they wanted him transferred to another hospital-he said no after two years of bad health plus Dementia and Altzhimers he refused and said he wanted to go home spend time with family and take his chances -so if I am slow responding to comments this is why-I still need to keep busy and sane so will maybe manic or slow!

  11. Your card is beautiful, Carol! I want to try my hand at this card design soon. I've also seen it using circles in front recently, and that looks fun.

    Lord, I lift up Carol's husband's situation and ask for you to protect his health. I also pray for your peace and comfort for Carol in this difficult time. Be the Rock they cling to and shower them with your love and faithfulness. In Jesus' name, Amen.

  18. So sorry for your hubby's heart attack! I understand him, no one likes being in a hospital, especially these days where people are considered only numbers of a bed and don't know what is done, nor if and when will return home.
    I understand also you, I'm the only caregiver of my Mum that has Dementia and Alzheimer,and know how stressful and time-consuming is this life. But I think that God helped your hubby as he was able to refuse the hospital by his own saying what it's really important for him, and now above all.
    Best wishes for a better health for your hubby and prayers for you both.
    Family come first, don't think to comment and visit us. Crafting and blogging are two separate things, so take your time... this is a challenge too.
    Your card is fabulous, such beautiful pop up shape to show those amazing sunflowers! And the card folds flat, it's great!
    Hugs
