Sunflower

I was messing around with my Dreamweaver stencils and paste.  I made this beautiful sunflower.  I am super excited for summer to get here.  I miss is so much!  I hope that spring gets here quick, I wouldn't mind at all if it stuck around for a while.  Ya, know~ before I start complaining it's 'too hot'  Notice there is no snow on my sunflower (that's a hint~ mother nature)  :)

Recipe:
Dreamweaver:  Black paste, mica powders, LJ902 stencil
Technique:          Flicking - for the flower
                                 Faux mother of pearl - behind the flower
SU Stamp pads:  So Saffron, Cajun Craze,
Ink:                          Pearl
Paper:                    glossy cardstock, cajun craze, more mustard
Accesssories:       more mustard ribbon, diamond brad

I love the 3d effect that the embossing paste gives.

It was great to see you todayHave a wonderful day.

My nephew is getting married today! I wanted to share with you the card I made for them. I love the phrase "the best is yet to come" I have never used for a wedding card, but really it is very appropriate.

Supplies: Dreamweaver Stencil LJ902 DW:black embossing paste Mica powders Technique: Faux Mother of Pearl Misc stamp SU! DSP, and paper

So of course, first I did the faux pearl background. Then used the stencil and black paste to make the flower. After the flower dried, I put the stencil back in place, used some versa mark to make it sticky. Then I put the mica powders on with a paint brush. After that set for a little while, I sprayed it with sealant.

Thanks for stopping by today, I really appreciate your comments. Have a wonderful day.
