Sun and sunflower

The sun is shining today. We have had so much rain lately I forgot what the sun looked like. I used a Memory Box sunflower embossing folder to make my own sunshine inside. It is painstaking to do but I colored the sunflower with Copic markers after I ran it through the Big Shot.  You need a steady hand, which I don't always have, to do that so there might be boo-boos. The sentiment is Altenew and winked.






Be kind to one another.

Great card, Brenda. I think your hand is very steady. It's a wonderful pattern of the embossing folder and perfectly colored.
Hope you enjoy the sun. We have a plenty of it recently.
Have a nice day! Sonja

I find coloring embossed images challenging and always end up outside the lines. This looks perfect to me and is like sunshine on a card!

There has been a lot of "flash flooding" rain here in PA, just not at my house. But we did get a bit of rain, which we need desperately. Glad you are seeing the sun again today! You certainly did make sunshine with this card Brenda! I love it! It is sunny, bright and so beautiful. I'm impressed with your copic coloring on an embossing folder as it does take a steady hand to color an embossed image. But you knocked it out and I don't see any boo boo's! Hugs, Brenda

I'm impressed, Brenda! I love the CASlicious design and you definitely had a perfectly steady hand painting this beautiful sunflower! I'm so glad you are finally seeing some sunshine and getting some Vitamin D! Hugs, Darnell
