Watercolor Sunflower

 Pam's challenge for us can be found here. F4A801 watercolor imprints~June 27, 2025 by Bailmac at Splitcoaststampers
I've never done this before, but as I watched Dina's video I thought, why not try to emboss this once it had dried? So I did.
I did direct to paper with the oxide inks then spritzed them with water. Once dry, I embossed with the SU 3D Sunflower embossing folder. Then I added the ribbon and bow. I added the dots and sentiment. I layered the image onto basic black and the cardbase is pumpkin pie.

The watercolor imprint technique gives this sunflower such a soft, radiant glow—like it’s basking in late summer sunlight. The texture from the 3D embossing adds amazing depth, and I love the bold contrast with the black layering. This card feels both vibrant and grounded—absolutely beautiful work!
