I actually ended up making two cards for Anita's MMTPT494 challenge - which you'll find at the top of the forum HERE once it's gone live.
This one was inspired more directly by her teapot picture - I thought these sunny flowers and sentiment fit the bill. Image stamped on watercolour paper and coloured with watercolour and watercolour pencils, plus some distress re-inker for the sky. I layered it on some embossed and sanded green paper, and then dug out some very, very old DP which suited, and some ric-rac to run along under the sentiment. My bright sunshine yellow card base was actually too bright, so I toned it down a little with some gelatos before stitching the DP on. It was still missing something, so I added some sparkle to all the larger flowers, and then some little dots of Liquid Pearls gave enough extra finish to the image panel.

I loved reading your process as much as I love the card Sabrina. You have a great talent for bringing small images to life. Your background is fabulous and the addition ric-rac and the stitched border are the icing on the cake. Ang is going to love this.
