I wanted a lot of texture and depth to my creation this week so I heat embossed three Mark's Finest Papers Sunflowers and popped each layer up with foam tape, coloring with Stampin Up reinkers.

All of the papers are distressed and I used embossing folders on a couple of them. The lace border die and gingham ribbon were added for a feminine touch.
