Well, this morning I got out some birthday stamps with balloons, but couldn't get into it, so I ended up using a stamped piece that's been sitting in my scrap pile. This uses a retired SU set called Days Gone By. It works very well for collage type pieces. Since it is very monochromatice and soft, I felt like I needed to frame the image of the woman to create a focal point. I cut a frame using my spellbinders dies. I ran the DSP through my Embossing Folder and then I accented the raised image by coloring it with some Sahara Sand Ink and adding gold embossed centers to the flowers. I also sprinkled some gold embossing powder ont the main image piece and melted it by heating from the bottom. This came out really soft and feminine.
