I drive by fields of beautiful sunflowers on my way to work and admire their bold beauty. However, I do wish the blooms would last longer. I was excited to see that Sunflowers was this month's collection. While doing a search on Pinterest for sunflower ideas I came across many projects with bold beautiful flowers on a darker background using various markers. I love the look but I don't want to invest in another art medium. Which made me go way back into the memory banks of my mind to recall a retreat workshop. Don't know what year it was but it was when we learned how to use the Position It!
 
Stamp you image on the clear plastic. Place it where you want your design.
Line up the guide and stamp the image on black paper with white ink.
 Don't remeove the guide. Re-ink and stamp it again to make it extra white.
Heat set.

Next spray water on your rubber stamp. Color your stamp with Gelatos.
Using the Position It! line up your white image and your gelato gooey stamp and stamp. 
Here I spritzed water on the rubber stamp and stamped a second time.


Here's some of the finished cards. Each one is a little different in boldness.
 

Micro beads where added to the center of this sunflower.
