CAS896 Sunshine Flower

Photo Details

Poster: suen

I used one of the BG's I made yesterday while playing with oxide inks. The mixed media paper was inked with fossilized amber, rusty hinge and vintage photo inks applied to acetate, misting with water and drying in between. The sunflower circle was cut from dark chocolate, attached and the panel placed on a dark chocolate card base. The sentiment was stamped in archival ink.

Love the bg that you created, Sue. The sentiment is perfect with it. The black flower die cut is a wonderful focal point.

Your rich blend of fossilized amber, rusty hinge and vintage photo creates a warm and luminous background that gives the sunflower incredible depth, and the dark chocolate die cut adds a bold focal point that anchors the entire design with striking contrast while the crisp sentiment finishes the card with perfect balance.
