It’s the time of year for sunflowers! They are blooming in the gardens, filling the farmer market tables and making everyone smile. Even the bees and birds are loving them. Unfortunately, my garden has only one sunflower in bloom right now because the chipmunks ate them all when they were only 3 inches tall. Insert sad face. Luckily, I can…

At first glance, you may think this is a basic sailboat card. But, if you peel the layers back and really see it, you’ll discover there are several techniques all on this one sailboat card. I use two different sponging techniques for the sky and water. The sky is sponged with the Blending Brushes. A tool you will use over…
