Celebrate Sunflowers - Stampin' Blends

Here is another Celebrate Sunflowers card that I made. I'm just having so much fun using this stamp set, I haven't started using my other pre-order stamp sets yet. On this one, I used the Stampin' Blends and does it look like I've added extra layers to give it dimension? No, I didn't but I love how this card turned out using the Stampin' Blends. The Stampin' Blends will be sold as combos instead of individually starting June 3, so the codes will be different starting then. I used the new label called Lovely Labels Pick a Punch too. The Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine will not be able when the new catalog begins, but sometime soon.
