Sunflower Bouquet

Hello!

Welcome to my little crafting place! Here's where I share the things I've been making, and sometimes other bits of waffle!

This week it was my turn to choose the challenge for the Daring Cardmakers, and it's all about today being International Artis's Day.

So today I'm sharing the card I've made

Art for Art’s Sake
Pablo Picasso was born on 25th October,1881.
Apparently it’s also International Artist’s Day today, so this week be inspired by art, artists and artist’s paraphernalia!

Be inspired by a favourite artist or a specific art-work, or maybe feature an easel, or paint palette, brushes, paint splatters etc

See what we made here

 

Can you guess what work of art inspired me this week? 🤣 

I made the background just by inking in different shades of blue and brown, using washi tape to help get a straight line! I kept the rest of the inky edges a bit blurred though because I wasn't in the mood for too much in the way of straight lines!

All the dies are from recent Spellbinders sets.  I do have some speficially sunflower die sets, but these aren't -  I chose them because those in Van Gogh's painting are more random and maybe what you'd describe as tatty? 

His flower arranging skills are a bit like mine!

I decided against a vase and instead made them more of a bouquet with the addition of a double bow of organza ribbon.
