How To Make Flowers for A Delightful Sunshine Layout

Charity here with a post on how to make flowers for a delightful sunshine layout. I like to give my projects the personal touch of matching embellishments. For this one pager I was able to coordinate my flowers with my title as well as my background cardstock, all from The Robin’s Nest.

~ Hello Sunshine ~

This layout began with a 2.5″ strip of dark grey cardstock stiched to the far side of my background paper. I added strips of washi tape and then three layers of patterned grey cardstock to mat the photo.

 I stitched these layers down then added two ephemera cards. The card tucked under the photo I cut in half to offer multiple focal points.

 Now that my basic layout was ready I made the flowers. The sticker set was just the right colors for my theme. I punched two sets of the same flower in a similar print and one of the smaller flowers in a contrasting color. I stacked the larger flowers with the petals opposite of each other. The small flower went on top with a Dew Drop for the center.

To hold these layers of flowers together I used the Best Glue Ever. This super strong yet fantastically flexible glue from ScraPerfect is wonderful for hand made flowers.

I punched flowers from yellow cardstock to coordinate with the ephemera cards. The smaller centers are topped with dew drops in a contrasting color.

 Embellie Gellie made it super easy to place dew drops at the flower centers and with the cork chevrons.

For a little variety I added a pre-made flower as the center of each flower cluster. The final touches of wood leaves and chipboard vines are held of with just a drop or two of BGE.

The ephemera cards were perfect for accents as well as a title. They had just the right hues and delicately flourished letters.
