Atlantic Hearts 178 - Sunflowers Abound!

The Flower Market Cricut cartridge has me hooked! The wreaths, flowers and other images are simply awesome! The sketch at Atlantic Hearts this week was one where I took some definite liberties as you will see... but a sketch is a guideline, not something written in stone. 

I chose to use the flowers and the sentiment placement as a guide for my design and turn that into a wreath. I wanted a sky-like background and chose to use a piece of paper from the Whimsy Fundamentals with a watercolour background on it. It resembles a sky sort of look. The Sapphire Blue helps to set off the yellow tones in the sunflowers.

  1. Ooooh, lots and lots of die-cuts from Flower Market...great job on your interpretation of the layout...and love that watercolor background from Paper Fundamentals. Beautiful, sunflowers were very popular back East and we usually had them planted behind our garage, and so many fields of just sunflowers in New York.
