The bottom piece was made by stamping the flowers and leaves in VersaMark onto watercolor paper and heat embossing in white. I smooshed Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks onto my craft mat. I used water and a brush to pick up the inks and randomly wash the two colors over the embossed panel. The same Distress Inks are used for the die cut leaves. The yellow flowers are Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink and Zig Clean Color Real Brush marker in yellow.
I popped up the top flower. Simon Says Stamp Birthday Flowers sentiment is stamped in Versafine Onyx Black ink. Pretty Pink Posh sequins and droplets finish it up. (Gasp! No Wink of Stella!!!)
Thank you so very much for looking and especially for your comments!
