 I have to say my daughter loves  EOS the lip balm and there are lots of people posting fun critters with an EOS as a nose or tummy. But she is 17 and I thought I would create something more grown up for her. These were so much fun! I cut them with the Cricut Art Philosophy as large as I could on the paper (11").

Here are close ups of the different flowers.

This was a very enjoyable layout to put together. I started by creating an card with the Cricut Artfully sent. The card was then used as a "stencil" that I place down on the paper, stamped Versa Mark then embossed with the white embossing powder. I cut a second card with the co-ordinating cardstock from the Year-Noted kit and cut it up for accents.

This is the finish product!
