As many of you know when I create backgrounds, I like to combine more than one Cover a Card image. For this one, I stamped the Rolling Waves Cover a Card background over then entire card and then overlapped part of that background with the Circle Fusion 2 stamp. Therefore, I ended up with a single pattern for part of the card and a double pattern for the other part of the card.
When I stamp on kraft cardstock, I often like to use Prismacolor pencils for coloring so that the colors actually show up on the card. For this card, I stamped the new Sunflower image onto my card using black ink and the MISTI stamp positioner. I colored the flower with my pencils and then put the card back into the MISTI and stamped it once again with the flower. The colored pencils had obliterated some of my lines and restamping it using the MISTI made the lines appear crisp and dark.
Finally, I added the Fallidays sentiment with black ink.
