I embossed one of the new Lace Edges border stamps just released from Flourishes using Versamark Ink and Ultra Fine Detail Embossing powder to make sure I didn't lose any of the fine definition of this set. I also embossed my Sweet Peas onto some European Watercolor paper and then picked up some Distress Inks to watercolor my flowers. I used a paint palette and the distress ink reinker (using just one drop of each color in my palette) and then picked up the color with a Niji waterbrush. I used Worn Lipstick and Peeled Paint for my flowers and Broken China as a watercolor wash behind my flower. The rest is just layering up, adding some zig zag stitches, some pearls, some velvet ribbon and an oval and oval scallop punch (SU). The sentiment is from the Tag Lines set that is also just fresh off the press from Flourishes!

So beautiful, Julie! I am so glad you explained how you made it! Last night during the release party I kept wondering and wishing I could see a closer view! Gorgeous!
