Once again I had to use the stencil called Peeking Sunflowers from Stamplorations. It is in the Artplorations division. And the colors I used were supposed to resemble one of the images on the mood board at Double D's Challenge which is Sunflowers. So without further ado here is the card I created and tried to capture fairly close the colors on the board.
For this card I stenciled in the sunflowers with white pigment ink on black card stock. And, then I overlapped with some mixes of deep reds and purples to create the flowers with a bit of color. The next step was to add some Gina K. Designs clear embossing powder and heat set it. Well, of course, when I did the stenciled design I got some white ink outside of the stencil onto the black card base so I had to find a way to cover that up. So to the rescue was some Washi tape from Altenew which I thought was a fairly close match to the colors. The sentiment die is from the Cutplorations division of Artplorations and the finishing touches were some white pearls and some Posco white paint marks in the sunflower centers.
I lined the inside of the card with white paper so that I could stamp or write a message when I am ready to send it off. And, that was my card. Below is the photo of the mood board. This way you can see why I chose to try this color combo for it.

WELL DONE! This is amazing in those colors! 😀
Verna, this is so pretty! I think you nailed it! I had to smile when I read about your ink spot. When I began stamping in 2000, my teacher (who is now my best friend) told me there were no mistakes in card making - only creative opportunities! This opportunity worked perfectly! Thanks for sharing, and have a nice evening!

What a brilliant sunflower designed card! I'm glad you shared the mood board because I had never seen those colors before. You sure nailed it! I loved reading how you tweaked things because isn't that how it usually goes? Cover A spot here or a smudge there, here a spot there a smudge and everywhere pearls and gems 😁 What a gorgeous creationg!!!
