I have two sizes of this image and really like them filled with flowers.
The image is watercolor using re inkers and artist brush. The stems are freehand using a black gel pen.
Polished stone was the technique for the border followed by those wonderful card finishing Itty Bitty Backgrounds speckles.
Oh my gosh, this is the shortest description IÂ’ve ever given and it covers it all. Maybe one layer cards could save my fingers yet!
