Art Journaling: Colorful Sunflower

Welcome, everyone!! It’s Shari here with an art journal inspiration for you.

Sometimes I just want to make something pretty, something cheerful, without having to think much. I’ve decided to use some of my cardstock scraps for my circle journal. I’ve taken inspiration from a mug that was given to me. It has a single, beautifully colored sunflower.

I pulled out some heavy cardstock to draw 3 different size petals and cut them out to use as templates. I selected cardstock that I thought would work and cut the petals using lights and darks of each color family.

When it came to the center, I die-cut circles and hand-cut jagged edges. To finish this off, I added dots of Glossy Accents.

I have the entire backside of this page to add my journaling. I’m inspired to make different versions of this design using a variety of mediums.
