While the title of my blog might be 'roses by my window' with winter in full bloom instead, floral scenes are hard to find. I've not only been craving spinach in my diet, I've been craving green things outside my window. The first one is easier to fulfill with a short trip to the grocery store. The second wish can only be realized in my dreams so I've been dreaming of sunflowers. I also had half of the stained glass sunflower panel I made a week ago and didn't want it to go to waste. A dear friend sent me some stamped images and I came across sunflower Tilda . . . so it was a great match for the sunflowers. There is a sweet challenge on the Just Magnolia blog this week to use hearts and flowers. I made my own 'sunflowers' to match the card's theme and have tiny punched out hearts in the margin of one of the green panels. I wanted this card to fit an A2 envelope; Tilda loves big square cards but the post office does not. :) I might have overdone it on the yellow and green but it helped soothe my longing for Spring! Thanks for looking.

This is soooooooooo pretty! Love all the little details, they are fabulous!
I love your card! It's so bright and cheery. Love your flowers and that little girl. I understand how much you want 'sun and flowers' in your everyday life right now. Winter seems soooo loooog once the holidays are over. And for me, spring does not start to 'pop' up from the ground until late April.
This is so pretty and so summery! i agree all the little details really make this 'pop'!

This card is so beautiful! Since I'm living in the Sunflower state of Kansas, I might just have to try and track down this Tilda. I'd love to be rid of the cold and to see the sunflowers return! What a gorgeous card!
