Sunflower Grace


Hello and welcome.  Today I'd like to share with you an oldie but goodie from the Bugaboo store that I hadn't used yet, called Sunflower Stained Glass Block.

After printing the image onto Neenah white card stock, I colored it using both prismacolor and copic markers before layering and adding brushed copper brads.  I then added it to a dry embossed card, with a dry embossed border, using Tim Holtz sun ray and cracked embossing folders I had dusted off.  I then sponged summer sun dye ink around the edges of the card, before lightly sponging the ink over the embossed image.  I did the same thing to the dry embossed border only using cocoa ink.  I then popped up the layered image over the border before stamping the saying, from a long retired Stampin Up set,  in memento black ink over the dry embossed card.  For embellishments, I added a satin cocoa ribbon, sunflower dew drops and a wooden bee I received as a RAK but also hadn't used yet.  As a final touch, I traced the stained glass image with Sakura 3D glaze pens to add to the dimension.
