I had this stamp set out as a possibility for Lori's B challenge last week, and wanted to use it before I put it away. So I stamped the flowers on white card, coloured them with pencils and then sponged in some blue.
I embossed a strip of kraft with Houndstooth and swiped over it with white ink. The crochet border is also kraft swiped with white. It seemed to need something else, DH suggested the flourishes and is demanding credit for them. As a last finishing touch I added Liquid Pearls to the stamens of the flowers.

As always, you created a fantastic bg for your neat flowers. Like how you placed them in a random order. The added border of lace adds a nice touch.I also like the added flourish your dh suggested. He has a good eye for design. TFS

Love the kraft with the white accents. Your trio of flowers sure is pretty and I have to say the flourishes are perfect for that previous blank right side..thumbs up for your DH!

Oh my these flowers are so beautifully colored and the sponged blue is so perfect for setting them off! The added liquid pearls are so perfect. We can give DH the credit for the flourish...it's ok. Super stunning card Sabrina.

Beautiful, Sabrina, and I love these flowers and how you've colored them! I have this set and really should use it - just love these blooms. And I love the added highlights with white! Beautiful embossing with some white on the kraft. Love it, my friend! Hugs! (I'm a leftie, so I'm hoping to play today!)
