I cut out the flower shape and used it for masking -then embossed images from the Carte Postal set - I would have liked a larger image with a more artistic look but realized I didn't have anything that fit the bill! Also I had no clear embossing ink, so made do with a light butterscotch color. I sponged over with various inks for the pink and orange and then wiped off the excess. I used the sentiment from Carte Postal, "mon amie" , which means "my friend", I think - feel free to correct me if I'm wrong anyone! The panel is framed several times and popped up. Using the heat gun I crinkled the edges of the ribbon, made a triple loop bow and added a flat pearl.
