A new challenge from Craft Stamper Magazine for March. Phew! Only just made it - literally.
I'm entering this card as I've had a go at the monoprinting with an acrylic block method - featured in the current issue of Craft Stamper. I haven't got an enormous acrylic block so used my Cuttlebug base plate. Handy things those Cuttlebug plates. I use the B plate for extra large stamps too. I used yellow and orange acrylic paints for this and there is a lovely texture like the ripples on the beach when the tide's gone out but I can't get the camera to pick it up. I didn't want to cover it up so have just overstamped in Spiced Marigold DI with the same Sheena Douglass stamp that I used for the image. I coloured this with Promarkers and Spectrum Noirs - cut it out and fiddled about for ages trying to find where I was going to stick it all. Still not happy with it but too late to change once I'd got the glue gel on it. Think it should have been a tall card so I could have extended the 'stalk'.The butterfly circle is a die cut from a crafty friend of mine - must get this die at some point.
Than you for visiting today.

Wow, this is stunning Beryl. I love the colours you've used, and that stalk seems to be nice and strong to carry a lovely big flower head.

Well done making it into the challenge Beryl and good luck! Your background is beautiful and so is your colouring on the main image. I understand what you mean about elongating the stem. Funny how we notice an alternative way of doing these things afterwards, a bit like my blog project today which I think has far too much stamping on! Your card is still beautiful though and I love how you positioned the sunflower head on that gorgeous die cut.

This is what we need right now Beryl - a cheerful, colourful Sunflower to brighten up these rainy days! A fabulous card, and a great tip for using the CB plates (never thought of doing that)!
Hugs, Sylvia xx
Stunning Beryl, the sunflower is gorgeous but I love the whole colour scheme.

What a fabulous card Beryl, I just adore the vibrancy of this.
I must admit to not understanding a word of how you made it though (I'm getting so bad with learning new crafting techniques, no hope for me I'm afraid)
