Sunflowers-My Favorite Flower

 Our challenge today is to use sunflowers and kindness. Here is the challenge. I embossed my white cardstock. Then I colored the sunflower petals and leaves with Copic Markers. I colored the sunflower centers with two different colors of brown Derwent watercolor pencils. 




I used a blender pen to blend the pencil together. I used direct to paper to drag early espresso across the top if the panel. I added pecan pie to soften the color of the flowers. I stamped my sentiment in early espresso then used the key tag punch. I added the sentiment with dimensionals.

This is the beautiful embossing folder I used. This is such a popular embossing folder that it is once again out of stock.
This is the type of card that would be considered mixed media art. I used Copic alcohol markers and watercolor pencils as well as an ink pad added directly to the card.

Keywords: F4A813 sunflowers
Stamps: Amber Autumn
Paper: white, pecan pie
Paper Size: A2
Ink: early espresso, pecan pie
Accessories: Copic Markers, Derwent watercolor pencils, blender pen, key tag punch
Techniques: dry embossing, coloring, direct to paper

This embossing folder has been fun for all sorts of techniques. This is one of the very few embossing folders that I colored the images after embossing. Usually I use the embossing to enhance my card background.

Well, that's all for today. Thanks for stopping by. I'll see you again real soon.

Blessings,

Sue
