Sunflower Note

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!


I'm starting to feel more comfortable with the layered stencils and I fell in love
with this sunflower stencil from Papertrey Ink.

I used brushes to add ink through the stencils then added highlights with my
Caran d'ache Supracolor Pencils.  The background was looking too white,
so brushed over it with the ink left on the yellow brush.

The die cut sentiment was cut from colored cardstock and the backing die
cut from vellum.

Challenges:

I do miss the colors of Autumn - living in the mountains, the fall colors were on full display. Your sunflowers are so pretty. Not really yellow and not really orange - they are just right.

Sunflowers always give a happy vibe and your card has happy written all over it, Bonnie. Keeping to an autumnal color scheme by making the leaves brown was such a great design idea.

Beautiful! It's easy to see why you fell in love with this stencil, and your card is fantastic -- I love the colors and textures you've added.

Beautifully blended with your ink and pencils, Bon! I love that you brushed off the ink to make your panel creamy and perfect for the bold sunflowers and sediment! Thank you for using this week's I.D.E.A.S. Calendar and linking in the gallery to motivate others! Hugs, Dolly
