The challenge photo we played from can be found in the link here
This did take a while but part of that while was deciding on what image would work with it. The flower I tried was strike one, the stars – strike two then I settled for the sun and here is how it’s done.
I did some polished stone and direct to paper techniques and cut them in ¼” widths, then weaved them and found a place for them on the card and trimmed to fit.
More polished stone directly on the card. I added some classic ink in navy also. I then stamped on some images with navy and Brilliance white.
The sun was next. Its two images layered. I colored with re inkers and artist brush then ultra thick embossing powder was added.
I love doing cards like this, itÂ’s just a fun project and I have no worries of time when IÂ’m creatingÂ…itÂ’s supposed to be fun not a time limit!

This artwork is frame-worthy ... my goodness, how gorgeous ... the DTP gives such depth of color and the paper weaving was the perfect way to emulate the design in the original art ... absolutely marvelous!
