This is for the current ODBD Shine the Light challenge, which was a recipe; dry-embossed background, at least two die shapes and one sentiment.
I used Basic Grey paper for the base layer and flowers, Bazzill for the vine and cream card for the embossed layer and sentiment.
Size is A2, the base layer is edged with a gold leafing pen.
Cream card embossed with Allegro and sponged with Peeled Paint round the edge and Vintage Photo over the embossing.
Sizzix Vine and Spellbinders flowers were leftovers on my desk, I added pearls to the flowers.
Sentiment stamped with Fired Brick on cream card and cut and embossed with a Dahlia die, edges sponged with Fired Brick and popped up on foam.
Butterfly was a freebie, the packaging says Alexx Kesh.
