Celebrate Sunflowers

It’s time to celebrate sunflowers and a brand new annual catalog! All this week, I’ll be celebrating with the new Flowers for Every Season Suite. It was my #1 pick out of the entire 2020 catalog!

We’ve had a ton of rain in North Carolina this week and my flower garden seems to have doubled in size.  The scent of gardenias fills the air as soon as you walk outside.  And while I don’t have any sunflowers, I do have the new Flowers For Every Season Suite from the new 2020 catalog! 

Did you know that the sunflower is known as the ‘happy flower’? It’s true! And today’s projects truly make me happy.  I used the new Bumblebee Cardstock and Crushed Curry ink to create a monochromatic look on the card. Then, used Stampin’ Write Markers for the sunflower on the box.  I’ve got a nifty little trick on how I colored the Sunflower so perfectly  on my video below. 

Congratulations to Michelle Cox, this week’s Prize Patrol winner!
