Sunflower

I purchased some large adhesive dots a long time ago and just hadn't used any of them yet. When Tuesday Throwdown came up with handmade flowers for this week's challenge, I decided it was time to break out the adhesive dots.

I have some ribbon from WalMart called "Wraphia".  It is kind of a light plastic texture. I unrolled 3" strips of it, sponged some orange on the edges and then folded them in half and secured to the adhesive dot. I punched out the brown center and dotted it with a black Sharpie. The leaves are punched with a SU punch from scraps of green. To add a little more texture, I used PTI's linen texture plate and ran the base through Big Shot. Sentiment is from The Angel Company.
I followed the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches
