For Dina's Paint Palette Stamping MIXed media challenge. Didn't have time yesterday to take my stuff downstairs, but this morning while DH slept off his jetlag I brought down some acrylics and stamps. I had wanted to add text, but the piece I made with a script stamp, it was too strong and overpowered the medallion. So I made another piece with just the medallion - breayered some pastel colours onto my gel plate and then used that to ink up my stamp. Drew a frame, and added some spatter with Inktense pencils. Die-cut the wildflower stems from watercolour paper and coloured with watercolours. After adding them to the card, I stamped a tiny little bee in - Stickles make his wings sparkle. Sentiment stamped on another scrap of card and a border added to match the card.
I have a couple of fun negative prints left as well to use up some time. Thanks for a fun challenge, Dina.

Wow Sabrina! I love the cheery colors of your card! Your background turned out beautifully and that sunflower is gorgeous. Good idea to cut out dies with watercolor paper. I'll have to remember that! fav'd
