Hello and Welcome
Time for another card for the
Our theme this month is Sunflowers.
Check out the wonderfully sunny gallery and our guest Izzy (Izzy Scrap).
To create my card, I placed this large flower stamp into my Misti and stamped it with black Memento ink. Next, I cut it down around the edged and fussy cut out the flower petals at the bottom for more interest.
I then watercoloured it using some diluted Brushos and a paintbrush, blending the yellows to keep my flower sunny and bright.
When that was dry, I added lots of Glossy Accents to my flower head; just too bad you can't see that in the photo.
I stamped the sentiment using my Misti again, then added a few black gems for interest.
Using a fine line black marker, I traced around the whole outside to help define the outline of the flower then lastly, I simply mounted it onto a white card and done.
Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

ReplyDeleteKaren, this card is just beautiful! Sadly, I cannot seem to find that lovely sunflower stamp anywhere? Do you remember if it is an old one? A different name/company perhaps???
ReplyDeleteI love your vision of a sunflower. Perfect effect when the petals run out of the frame.
