I chose this color group for my inspiration, and used all but the peach color. I covered my white CS with Gesso, so that the brush strokes would show. Dried and lightly sponged the SU pink color following the brush strokes and lightly spritzed with water to soften the color. Die cut the top corner, sentiment, and greenery. Colored the tips of the branches with brown and shaped the mosaic leaves. Colored the edges of the flower petals and spritzed to soften the color. Cut the dark brown mat, punched the lacey strip and assembled all the pieces.
For my sister's birthday this month.

She's bound to love this! The background looks so cool with the brush strokes, and those mosaic leaves are wonderful. I love the corner die cut!
