I loved the flower on it - and I have been wanting to make more of these adorable bags ever since I made one for the challenge a week or so ago.
I learned how to make this wonderful sun flower using graduated sizes of nestabilities when I attended a workshop our own Lauren Meader ran at The Papertree in Manchester, NH (see info on that on my blog!)
The paper is Cosmo Cricket called Be Good: Peppermint Candy. I cut 5 sizes of scalloped circle nestabilities out of More Mustard, sponged the edges with Close to Cocoa, cut slits on the sides of each scallop, and ruffled the 'petals'. Then I layered them with foam dimensionals and attached the leaves by Prima. The bee is from PapertreyInk - Honey Bees set and I highlighted it with yellow stickles.
