Hello, I made this with the new 'Happy Pansies' set available now at Mark's Finest Papers! I stamped with versamark onto watercolour paper twice, and embossed with gold.
I picked up the ink from the lids of the stamp pads using a waterbrush, and coloured in the image. I cut two of the flowers out and bent them up for dimension.
The cardbase is rich razzleberry with a layer of gold and then dp. The main image was cut with the octagon nesties. I finished it off with some gold brads.
