In the limited supplies challenge today, we could only use one stamp set and had to make our own dsp with it. I had a gorgeous, romantic blue and white dsp I was dying to use but I used it as inspiration to create this instead. I didn't have soft sky paper so I brayered my ink onto a confetti white cardstock and then used my versamark and the vine in the set to create the floral print with white ep (I hope that was allowed!!). I then colored the basket from the set with reinkers and wc pencils, sponged the green and blue bg and then reused the little flower on the vine to create the texture in the grass. I finished with the sentiment from the set, mounted on black, added ribbon and VOILA!!

OMGoodness! You surely went the extra mile to make this paper! It is gorgeous too! Your colouring and shading is amazing- so life like. The sentiment is lovely as well.
