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

Darnell's I.D.E.A.S. - Week one Ink (Did ink blending on the die cuts)
