Apply Ink of your choice using a Blender Brush in Hues of Blue starting with the lightest in the center and working out to darkest.

Step 3 – Diecut Daffodils using White Soft Finish Cardstock. Keep the pieces together and color in each piece using any color medium of your choice. I used Copics. See photos below so the colors I used. Assemble and adhere to card using Kid’s Choice Glue.
