I used the kissing technique (which normally gives me a hard time, but I tweaked it, and it worked!) :0)
CARD DETAILS: This is done on river rock cardstock (which I did match to the d.p. lol) & "Cool Caribbean" <--I know that's pure evil 'since it's retired, but I have no willpower.) It's all sponge-daubed with Turquoise & Brown. And there are good ol' "Chocolate Chip" mats on here too. I have been a good girl & have been punching out all my middles. Trying to watch my environmental foot print more. The flower is done in a few simple steps.
