Using a sponge dauber I added Gray Granite ink to the centre of the flower before colouring in the bloom using the following Blends Markers – Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, So Saffron and Gray Granite. I used an empty Wink of Stella Pen to add some Las Vegas Gold Shimmer Paint to the petals of the flower and die it out using my Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine and the Sunflower dies.
