Dotty for You - Sunflower Cards

This pretty card was made using the Dotty for You paper packet and our May Stamp of the Month, "Friendship Bouquet."  I  stamped the sunflower with StazOn ink and used our watercolors and blending pen to fill it in.  Pearl Opaques, a Clear Button, and seam binding finish it off.  We made this at Debbie Y's home gathering this week and everyone really enjoyed making it.

I am a follower of Christine Adam's blog.  This week she has had some really pretty Dotty/Friendship Bouquet cards that inspired me.  I re-created a couple of them for you and I am posting them here.  Check out her blog for more inspiration!

Stamp lifting Christine - I used StazOn Black ink along chalk to fill in this sunflower.  I used a blending pen with Lagoon ink to fill in the outer edges of the sunflower image.  Prisma glitter was used on the center of the flower.

Also, stamp lifting Christine's card - This is a monochromatic version of the sunflower card.  It is simply stamped with Black StazOn ink.  Then I used pearl paint and stroked it across the sunflower.  I think it is a very pretty version of the sunflower and so SIMPLE!

I know that many of you will recognize this layout as the Typeset Workshop on the Go.   The CTMH Art Department does a great job with including new techniques with each workshop kit.  We used the Cricut AP Cartridge to cut the large frames (<square4>)  that are used as the photo mat.  We also cut the stars, the title circles, and the "UR Special" square with the Cricut. 

The kit comes with Pearl Paint and Milepost Shapes.  We painted the pearl paint randomly on the the base pages and over the Milepost Shapes.  We also used the Stencil brush and Cocoa Re-inker and used a stencil drag technique - it is OH SO FUN!!!!  I know that of few of you did not enjoy it, but many others did.  I think it great to try various techniques and then you are able to decide what your style is!  If you didn't order the Typeset Workshop Kit, it isn't too late.  Our Workshops on the Go kits are available until the end of our Autumn/Winter Catalog (and they are an incredible value!).
