The Manhattan Flowers folder was used for the image and Pretty in Pink and Cameo Coral was sponged over the image. It was then cutout, a black matting was cutout around the edges, faux stitching was done around the edges, and pearls and shear black ribbon finish it off. TFL and have a great Monday!!!
