The flowers were stamped on a 5 x 3 3/4 inch piece of white cardstock using Ultramarine Stazon, then colored with a blender pen and Bashful Blue and Brilliant Blue craft inks. I love coloring this way, because the craft inks go on so smooth and blend so nicely.
The entire panel was covered with Versamark and embossed with clear EP, which always intensifies the colors a bit. The image was then cut into 1 1/4 inch square "tiles," which were reassembled on Brilliant Blue cardstock. I edged each square with the Crumb Cake marker to accent the tile look a little more.
The sentiment is embossed with Iridescent EP to add a little sparkle along with the blue gem brads. The flowers on the Confetti White card base are colored with a sponge dauber and Bashful Blue classic ink.
Finished card size is 5 x 6 1/2 inches.

I really love the look of your delft card. What a great idea to emboss with clear EP to make it look more like ceramic tiles. I will be using that idea. Thanks!
