The photo I played can be seen here.
Thanks again to Amber for the site find and Stephanie for making our Saturdays fun!
In real life the flower ink matches much closer to the lavender paper but the paper has a shimmer to it and the lighting for the photo must be catching a bit too much shimmer.
-For the image I inked up the stamp in lavender and added the black highlights with a Marvy marker, cleaning the rubber after each stamping.
-Flower accents: the black polka dots is silk, the lavender is an EK Success punch which I paper sculpted with a metal ball stylus and the brads is from Buttons Galore which I found at ArchiverÂ’s.
-The border punch is Martha Stewart.
-Image panel: Nestabilities for the lavender and black layers, just the paper cutter for the white image layer.
-Sewing with a machine was done on the border punch panel.
-Iron Eagle punch from EK Success was used for the corner features.
