Cosmos Bouquet

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

This Cosmos die has been hanging out in my NBUS box for far too long!
When I saw Vicky's Tic Tac Toe board, I knew it was time to get it out.


I die cut three cosmos and used three colors of ink for the flowers; yellow, darker yellow, 
pink, and a combination of them for the third flower.

I thought they needed some greenery for contrast and die cut my favorite SSS
leaf die to go with the flowers.  I ink blended three shades of green on them.

The little bee was sitting on my desk, leftover from a previous card and he
buzzed over to check out these flowers.

Burlap embossing and a bit of twine finished this card.

Tic Tac Toe #250 - (left hand column Friendship, Die Cuts, Ink Blend)

Turning the Page July 2024

Hi there.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

Time to turn the page on our calendars to a new month.

 

I make calendars each year for my desk and my family.

 

I thought I'd set up a regular post on the first day of each month to share them.

 

I hope you enjoy my “Turning the Page” posts.

 

Here's our July page using the Agapanthus stamp from Technique Tuesday

and colored with Copics.


By the way, the calendars 4 ½ x 7 inches and and can be displayed on an easel

or hung on a push pin or magnetic hook.  We all have a different way to display them.

 

If you would like a word document with the calendar, email me

and I will be glad to send it to you so you can design your own.

Email link is on the sidebar.



Enjoy!
