For the Color Challenge hosted by Barbara. Her colors are bright and beautiful for a touch of summer in wintertime. The dessert option is Sunflowers.
I used these layering masks (stencils) for the first time. There are four masks to create the sunflowers & leaves. I like how they have a notch in the top; I drew a pencil mark at the point of the notch and it helped to line up the next one. I sponged the Crushed Curry on the petals and then sponged some Pumpkin Pie on the petals just at the center. Then I sponged Granny Apple Green for the leaves.
I used Pecan Pie (neutral) ink in the center. I did not care for the last mask that adds detail to the center, so while keeping the mask in place; I stamped Itty Bitty Backgrounds splatter in Pecan Pie ink.
The complete stenciled panel is big, so I had to cut it down to fit on my A2 card. I rounded three corners and stamped a sentiment in the bottom right. A strip of green DSP on a PP card base with some Crushed Curry Baker's Twine. Three green gems on the leaves. Wink of Stella in the sunflower centers. Love the sparkle!

Your sponged sunflowers are So Pretty, Diane! I Love the look of these colors on them. Great job with adding each color as cs, dp and twine. Very attractive~

I love the expert and subtle shading your achieved on the petals of your sunflowers. How clever to sub a different/better center for the flowers. Love the layout and the rounded corners. Very, very pretty

Fabulous! Amazing colors/design. Colors match papers in BG beautifully. Your stenciling/sponging is fantastic and the way you did the centers is perfect...
