Color Hues Second Helpings!

Goodness knows that 'second helpings' don't happen often around here these days, but I just couldn't waste one smidgen of that fun waxed paper panel!  Thanks, Color Hues #135! 



A single SB Sunflower Serenade over a waxed paper panel inked with
yellow and CP Blackjack ink + another SB Better Press-ed sentiments
all framed up in a Waffle Flower Crafts Rectangle Frame.


Have a wonderful weekend my friends!

Love this! The sunflower is fabulous--I think you sent me off to buy it last summer--and the background you've created is wonderful, too! Thanks for the second helping--we're always glad to see you back in the Color Hues gallery.

What a great use of the waxed paper panel, Michele! It makes a really cool background. I love how you used the yellow tone-on-tone, but with a different texture! Your blending of yellow and black inks is absolutely flawless! (I'd end up with a muddy mess at the boarder.)
You have a great weekend too! Hideko xx

So lovely, Michele. I want to try the wax paper technique but thought I needed a stencil. I guess not. Thanks for the inspiration.

A beautiful reminder to get out wax paper and my iron, Michele! So much yellow goodness with this background and sunflower and just enough black to make it pop! Thanks for the second helpings at Color Hues!

Beautiful bloom and background.

Stunning Michle! I love the yellow and black combo! The waxed aperp background is perfect for this one! Love your colouring. Have a good one! :)

It's as though the sunflower is growing tall with its head in the sun and feet in the shade. Gorgeous! The crinkle background shows up beautifully here. The decorative edge strongly resembles a flower bed border I put up this year.

OH WOW ... this is just gorgeous! Very striking! You've inspired me to play along!

Nancy said...

Well, now you are using my favorite sunflower die! This is a show stopper for sure. Thanks for coming back and joining us again.
