I used Stamps from PTI for flowers and sentiment. I used a Cuttlebug embossing strip that I brayered with black and embossed with a piece of So Saffron so that the background is black and the embossed flowers stay saffron. I framed everything in black, used black DOTS, not pearls for centers of little flowers, used pop up dots pressed into black flocking powder for the centers of the large flowers. I embossed the background, and pressed a few of the dots down with my bone folder so I could stamp the sentiment without stamping on dots. Hope that all makes sense...another fun sketch...thanks for looking, have a wonderful Wednesday!!
