I have 3 different cards to share with you today. The first one is using the Sunflower Frame die. For my card, I cut the die out of yupo paper, and colored it in with Ranger Alcohol Inks and a very small paintbrush. I added foam tape and adhered to a card where I had adhered a panel stamped with the You Matter background to really let the flower shine.

For my second card, I used the Faceted Stripes Stencil. I used Distress Oxides and blended a soft palette of colors through the stencil, added some small sprays of water to get those lovely water dots and then added plenty of Nuvo drops in coordinating colors. I finished off the card with a simple CZ Design Thanks die and a sentiment strip stamped with the Simple Sentiments 2 stamps.

Cheiron thanks

For my last card, I used the jellyfish from the Never Quit Swimming stamp set….and the "what the Jell" sentiment combined with a simple Hey Die cut from the CZ Design Hey Wafer dies. I created the background with lots of layers of watercolor, some splatters and a spray of iridescent shine.

    I love all that you made, but to be honest with you the sunflower frame die and you met her background is my favorite from you and probably from all that I’ve seen created over the past two days. Sunflowers are truly one of my favorite flowers and seeing what you created is amazing.
