I made the background for this card using a technique recommended by Beverly! Thanks Beverly!
I spray three colours of frost spray mists onto watercolour paper and while it was still very wet, covered it with a piece of lightly scrunched cling wrap. Left to dry for an hour and then pulled back the cling wrap. The frost in the sprays separated and pooled where the cling wrap touched and I ended up with a very pretty and subtle design.
A stencil cut with my Silhouette Cameo was placed over my panel, and white embossing paste was spread over top. Once dry, I went over the stencil again with some white acrylic paint to highlight the embossing. A simple sentiment was stamped and heat embossed in white. And a stitched frame was added to finish the card.

How impressive this is! Thanks for the description of that gorgeous background. I love that you make your own stencils and even your work with embossing paste is impeccable. The white paint makes your blossoms just pop! Beautifully done, Loll!
