Autumn Birthday

Hi everyone.  Today's card was made at the same time as the Stencil Monoprint card I posted a couple of days ago ...
I used brushos on mixed media paper with the Joyful Sunflower stencil to create 1) a positive print --- my card for today; then 2) flipping the wet stencil over onto a second piece of mixed media paper to create the negative (background) print for the stencil monoprint recently posted for Group of Seven.

I'm really happy with both cards. :)  I haven't done many prints with stencils recently and Group of Seven inspired me to get inky. :)  

The top card uses the print, along with a small black sentiment banner with Happy Birthday heat embossed in copper.  Simple, quick, and easy card to make, celebrating fall's colours.

I sure do love that sunflower stencil and may just have to have it. Both cards turned out beautifully. I like that you get such crisp prints from this technique, not always easy to do.

I love the colors you got with the Brushos, Loll. This is such an exquisite card.

This is so bright and beautiful Loll, and the Brushos have such strong pigments which suit the sunflower perfectly, and the stencil monoprint from it came out brilliantly too. x

You have made some gorgeous cards with this sunflower, Lolly! I think this is the most gorgeous of all!
