MariLyn is looking for a Touch of Wow for her MIX challenge, Lydia wants us to Cut to the Punchline for January's theme and Pat's January 23 Teapot challenge was to use stitching and a farm theme. And my WTUI challenge, Give Me a Second Chance, was to bring out your unused tools.
We have so many marvelous products that bring out the WOW from me. The first time I used Glossy Accents and saw the glassy finish, using Liquid Pearls and Nuvo for a dimensional finish, combining alcohol inks and colored pencils and gel pens, and oh the die cuts! I could go on and on. So I had to use all of them for this card ;)
I stamped, colored and fussy cut the vase of sunflowers, used an Exacto to cut away the bottom petals. Created some reflection with with a fan brush and white acrylic paint, then added a few coats of Glossy Accents. I turned my stamped image and used my TH spritzer tool with both water based and alcohol markers for the bg. I die cut and embossed the gingham paper to get the stitched lines. Folded the die cut doily over the edge and adhered to the panel and card base. Popped up the vase of sunflowers and a stamped sentiment from my stash to complete. TFL

Oh my Carla I love these flowers and the stunning colors and layout. That doily works so beautifully and the splatters are just spot on perfect. Some times when I do splatters I feel like I get them too big or too many these are so perfect!

Carla, I can just see this jar of flowers sitting on a windowsill. Love the splattered background and the exact matching of the blue gingham. Lovely. You are so sweet to send this.

Fun country look. Nothing like a mason jar, gingham and a flower to bring a smile and make you feel comfy inside. Thanks for the smile and warm feeling this little country design gave me.
