Mojo cosmos

I carried some of my supplies from yesterday over to another card.  I had created this coral-colored wax-resist paper, and used part of the sheet yesterday. I decided to put the snippets to good use and see how the coral worked with green.
The layout is the current Mojo sketch. The image is from Pattie's Creations (I'm not actually sure if cosmos come in coral or pink; it seems like all the ones I have grown were white or purple). It's colored with pencils and it's mounted on a coral-colored snippet of card stock. Sentiment is from Stampin Up.  There's a strip of adhesive lace along the diagonal cut, and the white silk flower was colored by sponging some Coral Cameo ink on it.
I'm entering this challenges:
Pattie's Creations #110-- use flower image
Mojo Monday #396 -- sketch 
Pixie's Snippet Playground #175- use snippets
Simon Says Stamp Monday -- coral
Word Art Wednesday #182 -- anything goes

    What a lovely design, Sandy! Fab color combo. How wonderful that you chose our "May Flowers" challenge at Pattie's Creations as one you wanted to enter this month. Thanks for that and for using a Pattie's Creations image. Good luck in the draw. I hope we'll see you again soon.

    Love the layout, the design and the colour. REALLY like how you cut the top tabs at an angle - a nice touch.

    That coral piece is really nifty! You matched the color so perfectly with your cosmos. And this is art, you can make them any color you want!
