I saw some pictures of sunflowers recently and decided to make a floral linocut. I found a reference photo of daises that I had picked and put in a vase on my counter top a few years ago. Also, I wanted to make a companion piece to go with the other little linocut I made a few months ago and possibly make a matching set of blank greeting cards for my etsy store. I plan to color one of the prints, as I usually do. I think the flowers will be yellow and the vase, the mossy green, maybe with a touch of red so it will go a little better with the red teapot print. I’ll decide tomorrow when I paint it. I give the thicker paper a day to make sure the ink is fully dry.

So pretty! I really like the arrangement of flowers. And a second print for a card set is a great idea!

Thanks, Cindy. I actually combined two photos’ flowers and a vase I have as inspiration. The two cards actually look nice together.
