For today's CAS sketch and the Technique challenge to make our own polkadots.
After I die cut and stamped the Sunflowers, I sponged the edges with slightly darker ink and then dry embossed with a polkadot embossing folder. I used the same folder on the brown flower center. I flipped it over to add white gel pen dots to the indented side of the card stock. I used the same folder on the leaves, but added the white gel pen to the raised dots.

I am definitely going to have to case this beauty.... What a perfectly beautiful sunflower you have created... The sponging of the petal edges really adds the needed dimensions.... Love your idea of the embossing for your dots....
