The Paper Players #547 and NBUS #28

I haven't played at The Paper Players for a while and I thought their sketch was a great one for my NBUS HoneyBee Coneflower die. 

I used CP inks to blend color on the petals (Altenew for the cone) and glued them only at the center.  A WF panel was cut from kraft paper, inked around the edge with the same brown and stamped with a sentiment from Sunny Studio.  I can't wait to ink this flower up in other colors.  

Thanks for dropping by.

Think we'll have a chance for a play day, Bobby? I'd love to cut a whole bunch of these coneflowers!! Gosh this is pretty!

I agree with Michele, that is such a pretty bloom! Wish I could get in on that play day!

Ann Schach said...

Such a beautiful bloom, Bobby...and you have showcased it perfectly. Heck...I would even fly down from Iowa for that play day! :) Thank you so much for sharing this lovely card with The Paper Players!

Bobby, this is so pretty. Your color shading is art at its best. The coneflower looks so real. So glad you joined us at the Paper Players this week.

What a gorgeous flower, Bobby! Your inking is so rich and beautiful! Can't wait to see it in more colors!

Glad to have you back! This is a gorgeous blossom and I can only hope that the coneflower seeds I got from my cousin grow into something even half this pretty! I love the shading and simple background to make it stand out! Thanks for sharing at The Paper Players!

Wonderful blending on your coneflower, it sits perfectly perched on the kraft.

Your flower is beautifully colored, Bobby. I like how you anchored it in the corner of the card too. :-)

There are a coupla three friends I have who manage to enable me with just about every card they make and you are one of them, Bobby! That cone flower is divine and I love your coloring and shading! Thank you for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
