I started with a large piece of watercolor paper and taped the Sunflower stencil by CrafTreat on top. I sprinkled the Brushos on top and sprayed with water. I used yellow, green, orange and red Brushos. Once the paper was dry, I replaced the stencil and lightly inked the petals with red dye ink and the flower center with brown dye ink.
I cut the paper into half, getting two card panels. The sentiment is from a very old stamp set which I stamped with Versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I trimmed my panel and popped it up on a dark brown mat with foam and then I adhered the whole thing to a kraft card base.
Here is another look at the completed card.

This is stunning, Nandini! My mouth dropped open at the beautiful vibrancy of the colors and now I can't wait to try this. I haven't used my Brushos in years and I just love the effect! Thank you for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
