Global Design Project 243 - Floral Theme

Hi Crafters,

I am entering the Global Design Project challenge 243 today and the theme is floral.  

I have made two clean and simple cards using the new Celebrate Sunflowers bundle.  I hope they bring you inspiration and if you would like to create your own, head to my online shop.  

My first card features a Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede and gold foil sunflower.  I changed up the colours for the second card, using Basic Black and Mango Melody.  There is also a hint of shimmer on the sunflower centre with a touch of Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint.  I kept the layout and sentiment the same for both cards.  This would be a good design to mass produce too.  

I created a card base using a half sheet of A4 thick Whisper White cardstock.  The frame behind the sunflower was created using the largest two squares from the Layering Square Dies in Whisper White cardstock.  I cut five frames and glued together with Liquid Multipurpose Glue.  I stamped the sunflower image in Daffodil Delight onto Crushed Curry cardstock, using a sponge dauber for the centre with Soft Suede ink.  I cut the image using the co-ordinating die from the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle.  I added a gold foil die cut on top and finished with a sentiment from the stamp set in Daffodil Delight.  

My second card was started in the same way but I used Basic Black cardstock for the square frame behind the sunflower.  I stamped the sunflower image in Mango Melody ink onto Mango Melody cardstock and then cut the layering sunflower pieces in Basic Black cardstock.  

I used a sponge dauber and some Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint for the centre of the flower before adhering the layers together.  I stamped the same sentiment in Mango Melody ink to finish off this card.  

I would like to enter these cards into the following challenges:
