Blues Skies and Summer Flowers

I immediately thought of my very favorite flower photograph I took a few summers ago with a big bright blue sky background.   I love this photo so much, I keep it posted on an inspiration board in my studio.

To create the layout, I brainstormed for words describing all the things that come to mind when I see this sunflower photo. Then I used those words to make a word collage instead of using just one title.

I started by adding Sunflower Mist to the background, created a matte for my photo and word collage, threw in some borders and sprinkled with a few embellishments.  To me, it looks like sunshine on a scrapbook page!
