Is there anything happier than sunflowers on a bright blue background? I loved the colours and the fun-fold of my inspiration.
To mimic the artistic, watercoloured look of my inspiration, I created my own coloured paper in yellow, blue and brown, using Lindy's Magicals and my gel plate. While they dried, I made a z-fold card and die cut the Sweet Sunflower from A Jillian Vance Design. from black cardstock - I glued the black outline to the backer.
Then I inlaid the yellow petals and the brown centre . I trimmed the blue cardstock into two panels to create the background/inside of the card.

Ardyth, sunflowers really are so bright and cheerful especially with a pretty blue background. Your large sunflower is gorgeous and the colors you created with the gel plate are beautiful.

Ardyth, I saw you video before I saw this post and loved it then. What a great look and design. Love the beautiful background you created. And, I agree, there is nothing happier than a sunflower. Fabulous card.
