Here is the video tutorial for the Sunflower that I used on my Mojo Monday card yesterday. It comes to an abrupt end because I had to cut the last few seconds off that took me over the 15 minute limit.

New Ribbon Flower and Mojo Monday 187
I have been hard pressed to make it to my craft room the past couple of weeks, so was very happy to complete this card today. Actually, I am more excited about this new flower that I created than the card. When I was putting away my organdy ribbon after my organdy flower tutorial, I started playing around with the ribbon and came up with a multi-petalled flower. I recreated it in satin ribbon as well and that is how I ended up with this beautiful sunflower. I hope to have a tutorial ready for you sometime this week.
Here is this week's Mojo Monday Sketch
The inside of the card reads 'You bring sunshine into all of our lives - Happy Mother's Day'

Spring Is In The Air - Mojo Monday 185
I really like this week's Mojo Monday sketch, and couldn't wait to use some of the new spring Graphic 45 paper that I bought (love the little bonneted birds in the print) and a spring stamp set from Just Rite stamps that I purchased this past winter.
I stamped my tulip images twice and coloured them in with copic markers. Then I cut up one of the images and paper pieced three of the tulips and part of the bow over top of the original image. After cutting out each piece I gently rolled them over a pencil to give them more dimension. On the largest tulip I also made some cuts with a craft knife along a couple of the inner petal lines. The bottom scallop border was created by using a 1 1/4" circle punch and layering the light and dark green circles. I topped it off with a beautiful Antiqued copper butterfly from CTMH.
Supplies: Card size is 5" x 7"
Paper - Once Upon a Springtime collection - Graphic 45, peach, lt. & dk. green cardstock (Bazzill), Colonial White cardstock (CTMH)
Stamps - Breath of Spring (Just Rite), Happy Birthday C1257 (CTMH)
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black, Juniper (CTMH), Copics - R000, R01, R02, Y21, G000, G21, G28, E42, E43, E50
Accessories - Dimensional Elements - Bookplates (CTMH - retired), Antique Copper brads (CTMH), Antique Copper Butterfly - Bliss L2 Assortment (CTMH), cream satin ribbon (fabric store)
