I did a literal translation of Don Li-Leger's beautiful artwork. I first stamped the Inspired by Nature grass in the respective colors of the cardstock. I then went over it with my SU markers to darken it up a bit. I heat embossed the Art of Life flowers in white. I used daubers to add depth of color on each panel.
I found this color combo so striking. I didn't want to cover up the artwork; therefore, I kept it simple with just the one embellishment.
TFL and thanks for another awesome artist, Stef!

Very nice and I know which you were inspired by too, I'm a big fan of his work and have cased him a few times and actually used your embossing procedure once. Great job with the challenge!
