This Craft-A-Flower Sulfur Cosmos has two distinctive shape of flowers. I had no trouble assembling these gorgeous Cosmos.

By ink-spraying the colors to watercolor cardstock, I created my own petals and leaves.

To compliment the vibrant cosmos, I stamped the background with Dotted Pinwheel Stamp. These dotted lines made the design more interesting.

To counter the busy pattern, I added a piece of velum (die cut with Stitched Scalloped Die).

 I hope you like my design with Craft-A-Flower Sulfur Cosmos.
 Next, I'd like to share a photo of Iceland Poppy picture that I took during my trip to Iceland in 2018.

Altenew-Paint-A-Flower Iceland Poppies

For the coloring medium, I used Artists' Watercolor 24 Pan Set. I wanted to use all the warm tones and colors.

I even used brown color (Milk Chocolate) for the outlines as well.

I purposely painted the bottom with some stipple effect. You can see the short strokes if look closely.
