Sunflower Scrapbook Layout

Hello, Connie Nichol here with a scrapbook layout featuring a lot of sunflowers!

This layout is totally about the Sunflower cut file from Suzanne Cannon.  I fell in love with it when I saw it, and what better page embellishment for sunflower photos?  I left the layout very simple because the sunflowers were just so darn pretty.

I cut the file out with a Sizzix Eclips 2 electronic cutting machine.  You can buy the svg file at Quietfire Designs, or if you use a Silhouette, the cutting file is available here in the Silhouette Design Store.

 You can of course customize the colours and size of the flowers as you see fit so it is a very versatile file.  A single flower would make a great addition to a card.

 I added a few small butterflies from Suzanne's Butterfly Bendi card cut file.  I just ungrouped the different elements in the file and deleted all but the smallest butterflies.

Thanks for stopping by and happy scrapbooking!

Happy 65 - Sunflowers - How Old Would

Another of my friends is having a 65th birthday and I thought I would use a couple of Suzanne newest digital files "Flourished Happy Birthday" and "Flourished 65" and I paired it up with the "Sunflowers" all of them available on the Silhouette onLine store.
This is what the files look like:

I opened the "Happy Birthday" Silhouette file in Sure Cuts A Lot software . Ungrouped the words and hid the word "Birthday". Opened the "Flourished 65" and moved it into a pleasing arrangement with the Happy., selected all and enlarged it to about 4.75" square. Welded everything and cut from cream toned cardstock. Inked it with Versamark and embossed with Pearlescent embossing powder. Also cut a shadow layer and painted it with Distress acrylic dauber "Walnut Stain". Adhered both together.

Opened the "sunflower", adding another flower image, cut from the cream toned cardstock. Painted with the acrylic daubers "Mustard Seed" for the flower, Walnut Stain for the flower center and "Mowed Lawn" for the leaves and stem. assembled the flowers and added glue to the centers adhering some "Nut Brown" Flower Soft .

Side folded my forest green toned Bazzill Monochromatic card. Adhered a piece of dark green/gold variegated ribbon, then my word and flower elements,

On the inside: Stamped the quote ("How Old Would You Be...") using Distress Picket Fence and embossing with Emerald Creek "Glacier White" embossing powder.

Masked the quote and stamped the daisy/sunflower (Stampendous "Jumbo Daisy") using Archival "Saffron" and embossing with a bright yellow embossing powder. Added color using Prisma colored pencils in a yellow and orange. 

Daisy Rosettes - Sunflower

Yogi here today with using one of the newest digital files created by Suzanne "Daisy Rosettes" available on the Silhouette onLine store. Just because it says daisy doesn't mean it has to stay a daisy... Since I painted mine a bright yellow it became a "Sunflower" BIG GRIN

I'm also using the "Sunflower" electronic file for the word. 

These are what the files look like:

I side folded my white card (5.5"w x 4.25"h). Embossed it with Elizabeth Craft Designs "Flower Mosaic" embossing folder.

eCut the Daisy Rosettes leaving the same size as the file,and cut from white cardstock, then used a Distress acrylic dauber "Mustard Seed" to color the petals and the larger circle while still on my mat. I just swiped my dauber across the paper without pouncing it. Allowed it to dry for a minute and removed all from mat and folded along the score lines. Adhered the ends together. Applied a good amount of glue to the large painted yellow circle, then pressed the rosette down and held for a minute to allow it to adhered. Placed a flat object on the rosette while it continued to cure.

Colored the smaller circle with a brown marker, applied a bunch of glue and adhered Flower Soft "Nut Brown" all over the circle. Allowed to dry then adhered to sunflower. Adhered flowers to card front.

eCut the "Sunflower" word and also a shadow layer from white cardstock. Painted the top portion with the mustard seed, dried, applied Versamark and embossed with "Yellow" embossing powder.

Painted the shadow layer with Distress "Ground Espresso", dried and adhered both layers together, then on to card front.

 
On the inside: Stamped the top border of butterflies & the bottom lace border (Darice "JCS172" 8pce set) leaving a space for the ribbon, using Distress "Fossilized Amber" and clear embossed.

Adhered the yellow gauze ribbon.

Dry embossed the words (Sizzix "Butterfly Migration" 4 pce set) on white cardstock, trimmed down, used a corner rounder and hit the high points with "Scattered Straw" direct to paper. Sponged around the edges with a yellow sponge. Adhered to inside.

Cut off some yellow petal flowers from a piece of floral ribbon and adhered on either side of words.
