Playing along with a couple of CAS challenges today, AAA "Friendship" and CAS Watercolor "Sunflower."
I reached back into my stash for a cute little sunflower stamp that I've had for years, from Stampin' Up's "Give Thanks" set, which is long retired. Such a cute set, though, and worthy of pulling out of retirement.
I began with a simple watercolor background on 400 watercolor paper. Next, I stamped the sunflower using Gina K's new archival ink. When that was dry, I used my watercolor markers to color in the sunflower, then diecut the design using a circle. With a larger circle I embossed the frame, and cut another frame using Spellbinder's page dies. I added a few crystal drops, and mounted the smaller circle into the embossed circle.
The sentiment is from Gina K's hydrangea set. I stamped it using Versafine onyx ink, then embossed with clear embossing powder.
