I had fun using the Mighty Bloom Cover Plate die and Sunflower Harvest stamp set to create my card.
I started by die cutting a white panel of the Mighty Bloom and then masked off the top part (about a third) and then used the other 2/3 as a stencil with DOX inks (Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, & Picked Raspberry...love how when I blended the three the Picked Raspberry part looks like Berry Sorbet...one of my FAVORITE colors!!).
Next I stamped a few of the flowers from Sunflower Harvest set with the same DOX inks and the leaves from Peeled Paint DOX ink, and then fussy cut them out and started arranging and re-arranging them on my stenciled and die cut background. I finally ended up flipping my background upside down and only using the one sunflower, as it was just too crowded and you couldn't see the die cut area and a lot of the stenciled area either!
A couple of my leaves are from Gran's Garden, and did you notice the center of my Sunflower?? I inked up the Cover Up: Grid stamp with the DOX inks and then used it as my ink pad for the circle stamp that fits in the center of the Sunflower! I LOVE this Grid stamp and think it looks great in the center of my flower! I also die cut the smallest of the Scalloped Tags dies, and then also stamped the grid again with Bright Buttercup ink before stamping my "hello" sentiment. A little bit of jute tied around the tag and some iridescent sequins finished off my card.

Wow, this is gorgeous...Marcia! I love the colors you've used (so summery) and that cover plate is
perfect for the challenge. I regret not having that one in my stash.
Lovely, stunning, gorgeous, what more can I say? So smart to use the same die & stamp for your card. Your ombre stamping is amazing too. Love every detail!
Beautiful Marcia. Love the colors you used. Berry Sorbet is one of my favorites, too.
Love the die cut used as a stencil and those beautiful colors, Marcia! The grid stamp makes such an interesting center for the sunflower and makes a pretty tag!
I adore the beautiful sunset colors you've used on this fabulous card! All of your layers flow together perfectly Marcia, this is so pretty!!
Fabulous background with the diecut and stenciled portions, Marcia! Just love your flower cluster too!!
Your card is SO PRETTY, Marcia! LOVE how you've used your coverplate as part stencil, part die-cut ... very creative! Your arrangement of leaves and sweet sunflower with that little tag is so fun ... happy! :) The grid makes a great center for your sunflower too! xx
Marcia your card is gorgeous! That is my favourite blend of DOX inks too. Just looks fabulous!!!
This is stunning Marcia! I love the colors you used and the grid in the center of the sunflower is an unexpected surprise. Yes, I'd say we were definitley on the same wave length when we were making our cards. Isn't it fun using the same sets but getting two completely different looks? The background of your card is fabulous using that die and your ink blending looks smooth as buttah!
Does it get more beautiful?? Absolutely gorgeous!
Your ink blending looks fabulous on this card! Such pretty colors and it works really well with Mighty Bloom.
What a cool card, Marcia, with the colorful mighty blooms! Love how you used the new grid stamp too. I’m way behind in buying new products, and my wish list keeps growing. Beautifully done, Marcia!
Pretty card, Marcia! I love the die that you chose and your take on the inspiration challenge. Such pretty colors!
SO brilliant to use Mighty Boom as your stencil, I had it in my hand but was afraid of cutting it. Your card is awesome
So so pretty, Marcia! I love your clever stamping with the Grid stamp but it's the blended colors of the Mighty Bloom stencil that provides the "wow" to your project! Gorgeous card!
Lovely take on the challenge!
