Hi friends! I hope you are well and had a good weekend! Today I have a tag to share with lots and lots of sunny yellow.

This week we have a
Monochrome theme at the
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog. I hope you will join us! Monochrome is a lot of fun! Don't miss the lovely project by our June guest designer
Wanda Hentges.
I was inspired by the sun and used shades of yellow as my color, with just a little bit of brown. An almost entirely yellow project is always joyful. The background is both dry and heat embossed and I created dimensional flowers from different papers and shades of yellow.
Start by dry embossing a tag in
Tim Holtz new Vault Flourish ML folder. ML stands for multi-level. I applied embossing ink to some of the embossed parts and sprinkled with white embossing powder. The goal is not a perfect look, but a messy, shabby chic look.
Ink the tag with Distress Ink. The white embossing will resist the ink.
Smear Mustard Seed Distress Oxide on a non-stick craft sheet and mist with water. Press the tag lightly into the ink.
Assemble the flowers and shape the small flowers too.
I wasn't careful at all when applying the embossing ink, since this is the look I was aiming for.
I added Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Dazzling
Sunbeam Gems to the small flower centers and
Prism Gems to the larger flowers.
I glued cheese cloth under the flowers.
The Poised Primula flowers are so cute and such a great size.
Here, you can better see that the yellow small flowers are glossy. Mixing different surfaces adds interest.
