This afternoon when I was driving home, I suddenly noticed that the roadsides and fields are covered in Black-Eyed Susans...seems like they are always there (here in Virginia) and I just take them for granted...so made this card with them in mind. Colors work perfectly for this week's color challenge at STV to use brown, ivory, yellow. (Several of the BE Susans are raised on pop-dots...don't think you can tell in the pic)

Beautiful card!! I love black-eyed Susan's (our state flower). Love the fancy tag, too! Just gorgeous!
Linda, This is so beautiful. I love the flowers and your coloring is perfection. I love your Spellbinders fancy tags also. Looks like I will have to add that to my wish list. Have a great week.
Hi Linda,
What a wonderfully cheery card. I am looking out on a typical Scottish Autumn day. Heavy heavy rain and wind. The summer bedding plants are absolutely ruined and hubby cant get into the garden to start tidying up because it is so wet. Thanks for the glimpse of summer.
Yours in Him,

Hey Linda...This is a wonderful card...looks just like my drive to work!!!!

and this is so very pretty! thank you for the reminder to not take any of God's creation for granted.
Wow, Linda you should be beaming from ear to ear with all this success and recognition (it is only what you deserve though with all you talents).
Thanks for all your lovely comments and get well wishes, they cheer me up and make me smile. I'm getting back on my feet slowly with the aid of a walking stick (I walk like I'm 94 not 44!) I WILL make it to Harrogate this weekend -Yay! I can hear the plastic groaning in my purse as I type ;o) This is the major papercrafts show for the north of England so I'm so looking forward to it. I should be back crafting soon.
Warm wishes - from a very wet UK!
