I really liked the white outline of the flowers with the pretty colors inside each shape. I decided to give something a try, and i think it worked out great!! My background is white embossed, not with a stamp but from a stencil!! I placed a stencil over a panel of white card stock and then pressed my versamark ink pad into the open areas of the stencil. To get a good layer of the ink i really pressed and repressed the versamark through the open areas. Then i removed the stencil and added the white embossing powder and heated it.

Next i picked out some distress markers that were close to the photo colors (not quite the same) and then squiggled them on a clear block and with water added them to my embossed image. Since i didn;t use watercolor paper, the colors didn;t blend well, and that's what i was going for, bright color with minimal blending.

I set that aside to dry and then stamped the flower image on some white water color card stock. Then i used the same colors to color the image, adding in a green for the stems. Next i fussy cut it out and set it aside too.

Then i cut a strip black card stock and stamped the sentiment that came with the flowers. I heat embossed the sentiment then added it across my panel with foam tape. Next i added the flowers and last added a few black pearls.

Thanks so much for stopping by!! I hope you will play along with us at the Pinterset Inspired Challenge
