Surprise! I'm today's guest designer over at 365 Cards. Today's challenge is Imagine This: Sunflowers.As soon as I saw Beate's video tutorial on fan fold flowers, I wanted to try one, and figured this challenge was perfect for it. (You can find both the video and step by step written instructions here.) The flower was SO easy to make and really gives a *wow* factor to cards. I mixed my two favorite patterns--dots and gingham--and added this fun sentiment from Hero Arts.
SO, wanna play along? C'mon, I know you do! Sunflowers and summertime go hand in hand! Just link up your creation on the 365 Cards blog.
Stamps: Everyday Sayings (Hero Arts)
