SUNRISE WILDFLOWERS

Hi friends!

Playing along with this MAKE MY MONDAY CHALLENGE

#291 Blend 2 or 3 Colors (ends 7/11)

I was inspired by the flower theme Billie and Caz had going, and the arch used by Dawn. I’ve always loved this image because of the variation in petals - delicate and airy to solid - and it seemed perfect in white. 

TECHNIQUES

I blended three Distress Oxide inks, then spritzed lightly with the distress spray (it really only shows up well in the yellow area). I coated the panel thoroughly with anti-static powder because I was too impatient to wait for appropriate drying time, then heat embossed the flowers in Versamark and white embossing powder. To help tie in the brown elements, and provide a sense of perspective, I stamped dots in SU Crumb Cake at the base, and dotted the area with a brown fine tip marker and a white gel pen. 

*TIPS*

Sometimes an embossed panel will look better, and lay flatter, when flipped to the reverse side. 

The only way to tie a perfect bow for a length of twine is all by itself, and then glue it on 😂
