Measurements before borders: red – 1” x 5”, blue – 2” x 3 ¼”, flower panel – 3 9/16” x 2”.
IÂ’m doing a series of bright colored projects (this is #2) that will be displayed in my studio. Here is #1
-Alcohol inks are used for the red combo and blue backgrounds. I applied one color at a time using the felt and block applicator.
-The yellow and green borders are stamped with Cornish Heritage Farms Abstract.
-The flowers and black background are colored with Prismacolor pencils then heat embossed with clear powder; two coats. This brightens up the color and also gives added strength to the out of the box petals but it is a heavy stock for that panel.
-Piercing is done on the red strip panel.
-In order to keep the flowered panel at an even depth on the card for every layer it lies on top of there is a strip of that paper glued to the underside in place of foam tape, dimensionals etc.
I found the Black Eyed Susan image at Cornish Heritage Farms. and the flourish was found in the 1.99 spot at ArchiverÂ’s.

Hi~
I absolutely love this card. It is so bold and colorful .. just striking!!
I would like to try to create something like this. I have a couple questions I was wondering if you can clarify for me.
Is the paper you used with the alcohol ink glossy?
On the black paper behind the sunflowers (which are stunning) you said you used primacolor pencils and then embossed? I'm not quite sure what
the medium is that was used to emboss. Did you stamp it first with an embossing pad?
"The yellow and green borders are stamped with CHF Abstract." What is CHF Abstract?
