I used the new SU set that comes out on 5/1 called Elements of Style. The flowers were a little trickier than I thought they would be, but I think they came out okay.
I colored the flowers with markers, white gel pen and then sprinkled with some dazzling diamonds and crystal effects on the leaves. The image was cut out twice and popped up on dimensionals.
I used an ef on the mat behind the flowers, added some ribbon loops extending out to the right side, did some faux stitching and added some pearls.
The first layer, nestie mat, flowers and sentiment were popped up on dimensionals.
This was a fun sketch and I'm going to give it to one of my co-stampers at Stamp Club next week. Hope she likes it.
Thanks so much for taking the time to look and have a great week!

Pamzi, I love your use of that cool new stamp which I want so bad! You colored and cut it perfectly and your colors are wonderful! I love the mixed colors in the bg - great choices. I can see that this would have been a lot of work and resulted in some super weight loss! I think you should be in the weight loss video with this one (now when is that coming out again? - you need to get with Bearzi on that that soon).
