Playing around with Lee-Anne's Stencil Monoprint tutorial.
I had some watercolour paper that I had sponged and misted to try printing a stencil on, but it didn't work, so I misted it with a bit more yellow and used it to make the sunflower! Leaves were cut from plain watercolour paper and coloured with H2Os, which made them wet enough to mould easily. The background is a more successful print with the Art Deco leaves stencil. I pulled out about 4 possible sentiments to use, but in the end went with this one and added the bee. It's hard to see, but the bee's wings are acetate with Stickles on them. Sentiment embossed with clear EP.

Your gorgeous flower caught my eye right away, Sabrina. It is always amazing that you can take things from other projects and turn them into beautiful works of art. The leaf bg looks fabulous. I love your sparkling little bee.

Love how you re purposed your paper to the sunflower. I should have done that the other day when I was trying something similar with blues but alas mine went to the recycle bin. I need to get a bin for the oops so I can use them on my flowers. It might save me some time coloring them. Thank you so much for the inspiration!!!!
