Sunflower Birthday

 


The panel and additional flower is made by smooshing JuiseyArt inks and Distress Inks, allowing to dry and stamping over; Copics used to add shadows to flower.  I fussy cut the flower and used 3Dfoam to pop it up.  the centre is highlighted in gold pen and the berries & acorns in white gel pen.  Sentiment embossed and gold cord tied around.  Matted onto lemon textured card, then onto black base card.

When I was finished I thought maybe I should have done gold embossing to go with the gold cord, and could have easily put another on top with gold embossing.  I decided not to as I like the not-matchy-matchy thing, and think it adds a bit of zing and I like unpredictable!
