I started out by printing my sunflower image onto Neenah white card stock before coloring it using both Lyra flesh tone pencils and Castle Arts colored pencils. Once the coloring was finished, I highlighted the frame using a gold Castle Arts gel pen before layering and adding brads. I then added it to to a chocolate card before adding a scrap of twine and Sakura 3D glaze pens to highlight parts of the watering can and house/barn windows. As an afterthought, I pulled out my Sonic distresser tool and distressed the edges of the chocolate card. I'm really happy with how this turned out since I colored the image while my husband was watching the news plus I'm still dealing with my migraines and health issues.
