Hi there! Sharing today a shiny sunflowers card that I made by accident!

There I was, crafting in the middle of the night again, planning to use my new Distress Embossing Glazes.

But alas, my Versamark pen was nowhere to be found! 😱 (don’t worry though, I found it later and used it for this card…)

I was not going to give up on playing with the glazes, so I decided to try my Wink of Stella shimmer pen instead. And, surprisingly enough, it worked! And the shimmer is peeking through the glaze from behind, which creates a really cool look.

Here is my card. I stamped the sunflower from Tim Holtz’s Flower Garden stamp set, colored them with Distress Markers and then added the shimmer+glaze to the petals and stamens:

I spritzed some Black Soot with the distress marker spritzer, and added a nice sentiment from Tim Holtz idea-ology at the bottom.

Here are some close-ups of the “highlights” of this card.

You can really see the shimmer here! 🤩🤩

And here you can see the shine of the glaze 😍 So cool!

I really like the sentiment here – “you can never have too much happy”. So true!

I’m submitting my shiny sunflowers card to the following challenges:

1. Dragonfly Dreams Challenge – Add a Flower/Flowers
2. Sweet Stamping Challenge – Distressed
3. Simonsaysstamp Wednesday Challenge – Flower Power
