Although hard to see in the photo, I sponged the sky with Pumpkin Pie at the base and Soft Sky on top prior to stamping the main image. The main image was colored with SU markers using black for the stems and Pumpkin Pie and Ruby Red for flowers. The stamp was misted with water prior to stamping. Stickles added to the center for a little shimmer. The Whisper White main panel was sponged on the edge with PPie. Sentiment stamped on Pumpkin Pie. Main panel mounted on B Black and Cranberry Crisp (sorry, no Ruby R today) that was stamped with the Priceless swirls and sponged with CCrisp. The red panel was also paper pierced in keeping with Beate's tradition. Base card is Soft Sky. HPH has a little Martha Stewart matching ribbon.

Stunning! I never would have thought that these colors would work together but they are so beautiful! I love the sponging it gives the layers such a soft texture and I love your coloring of the swirl flowers. TFS!
