Being My Friend

Browsing through the challenge sites I found some with a common theme (click on each icon to be taken to the challenges):

A Cut Above August challenge with optional twist of Fall Flowers

Inspiration Station August prompt

So because I love (a) sunflowers, (b) Autumn colours and (c) ink blending with stencils, I decided to play along.

I cut the die from watercolour card and stencilled with distress inks. My background has been embossed with a woodgrain pattern that's difficult to see on such a dense black, but I promise you it's there! 

Materials used:

• die & stencil combo - Sunflower Cluster (Waffle Flower)
• distress inks - fossilized amber, rusty hinge, lumberjack plaid, aged mahogany, vintage photo, walnut stain, mowed grass, rustic wilderness
• other - blending brushes, Big Shot, grip mat, linen thread, sentiment strip (Paper Rose), foam squares, Lumber Large embossing folder (Tim Holtz), water spritzer

Hope you have some creativity in your day. Thanks for dropping by.

Cheers
