This is for Bridget's DTGD challenge. This is one that took a while to come together and I went through several ideas. Afterwards I remembered I had a photo of some Solomon's Seal which I should have used - but I'm happy with this. Sorry for the odd angle - trying to show the debossing!
5 3/4" white base, flowers debossed along the edge and gems added.
Image panel: Penny Black Flying Stars stamped on white Bristol Board with Versamark, embossed with clear EP and then sponged with Peeled Paint. The leaves are painted in with more Peeled Paint, and I used some Stickles on the blossoms. Sentiment from ODBD, Beautiful Wings embosslit for the butterfly.
Yet another failed attempt at water-stamping on the background - time I give up on this technique!!

Wow, this is BEAUTIFUL and you know I love it when you use this whimsical flower image...it looks so light and airy in white on the deep green bg - LOVELY embossing too. Bet your first and second attempt are just as LOVELY! Thanks for playing along, Sabrina, hope it was fun.

I love this whole card, Sabrina!! You used this stamp awhile ago, which inspired me to purchase it, I love seeing this image used! The sentiment goes with these flowers perfectly, as they are very joyful!
