-The branch was stamped on the panel and then I stamped a second image, colored with a Prismacolor pencil, cut it out and glued to the panel. The first stamping was to get the tiny branches to small to cut on the panel.
-The leaves are actually a pointed petal flower punch that I cut apart. Once cut I used a corsage pin and tacky glue to attach to the card in the same manner as I did with the pearls described below.
-The flowers were punched out, the centered colored with a cotton swab and craft ink. I placed the flowers on a folded paper towel and with a metal ball stylus I made circular motions until the petals raised and then glued them to the card.
-The pearls are attached with Diamond Glaze (any lacquer product will work). To make the process fast and easy I squeeze a drop of lacquer onto a waxed paper (I repurpose the paper that stickers and labels are purchased on), touch the end of a large corsage pin to the lacquer then to the back of the gem which picks it up, position it on the image and press down with a finger, there is a little time to slide the gem into position if needed before it sticks tight.
-The center panel is attached with foam tape.
Tools: EK Success flower punches, Nestabilities, cutting scissors, corsage pin, metal ball stylus and paper towel, paper stumps, cotton swab

Love this! I'm definitely putting in my favorites for future inspiration. The pink scallop square really draws your eye to the image and I love what you did with those flowers.
