Tuscan Sunflowers

In my quest to create a great card that echoes the beautiful sunflower fields of Tuscany.  I liked my previous card using the Post Card stamp, but I found this lovely retired set on eBay and snatched it up!  I really love the sunflower image on this card.

Tuscan Thank You

I've been trying for a week to come up with a thank you card for the friends that we stayed with in Italy earlier this month.  I really wanted some sunflowers to remind me of the beautiful fields of sunflowers that we saw in Tuscany.  The rooster is the emblem of Chianti, so I added that, too
