  • Patterned paper is from PTI new leaf pattern pack (tone-on-tone prints - retired). 
  • Dies are PTI Psalm reflections: October (leaf clusters) and framed out #7 (retired).
  • The sentiment "thanks" is from PTI limitless layers: labels, stamped with PTI new leaf ink.

  • I used a turquoise Copic 0.3 multiliner to add the center dots in the tiny yellow flowers.
