I'm having a change from poppies, and going back to sunflowers, for a few challenges. First up is Fusion:
Next is One Layer Simplicity: Turning to Fall
Also Virginia's View - Clean and Simple
And here's one challenge I can't miss out on: Casology - Splatter!
I inked the sunflower from Bloom Sketches in Antique Linen Distress Ink, then sloshed and rolled some yellows, olive and rusty hinge onto the image, and added splatters (yay!). I added a few falling petals and painted in a stem, then stamped the sentiment down the stem.
Love your artistic take on the CAS design! The white space, splatter and water-coloring are gorgeous together! The placement of sentiment is oh so clever! I am glad that you join the fun over Virginia’s View Clean and Simple Challenge!
ReplyDeleteYet another stunner! I'm gonna need to set up a board dedicated to your work Shirley..I pinn your cards so often:)
