Vera Lane Studio: Sunflower


Hello

Welcome to the first week of spring. I am really looking forward to longer days and warmer weather.

Today is my Vera Lane Studio DT day and I have a journal page featuring the beautiful Sunflower.

 

As sunflowers are the unofficial national flower of Ukraine, I decided to use the Ukraine flag colours for my project background. I smooshed Broken China Distress Ink onto white card and, when it was dry, smooshed Fossilised Amber into the bottom portion. I added some tone on tone stamping using Janet Klein's 'X or O' stamp set from AALL & Create. I also added stamping using the same set in black around the page edges.


Sunflower was coloured with Copics and fussy cut. She was a little fiddly to cut, but was well worth the effort!  She was popped on some torn washi tape to ground her and the flowers were placed alongside her. I love the sun - it looks like a sunflower head in the sky. 
I cut the sentiment into strips and edited it to read 'stand tall and find the sunlight'.


Sunflower

That's all for now.
I hope you'll come along and play on Vera Lane. It's such a friendly, fun place to be!
