I think that natural beauty is one of my favorite sets ever!
I started this challenge to create a cut out border by inking my floral screen folder with garden green ink and running a piece of garden green through it. I then cut away most of it to create the border. I stamped the butterfly from natural beauty 3 times with black stazon onto watercolor paper, used my markers and aqua painter to watercolor them, and finally cut them out. Boy was there a LOT of cutting on this one! The last part was to makethe medalion with the sentiment stamp from the set and cut it out with my oval nesties. It's hard to see in the pic, but I went over the word "believe" with a glitter gel pen to highlight it. The butterflies are popped up with dimensionals and the sentiment is too but one layer higher.
I though about adding ribbon or hardware but was happy in the end without it. What do you think?
Thanks for looking!
