Lovely sketch for today. Panels #2, #3, and #4 were made as one sheet then cut into pieces. I started with Kraft CS and stamped the all-over floral design with white ink. Layered the matching stencil on top and softly colored the flower heads with TH OI. The two blossoms were multi-layered stamped and then I came back with watercolors to complete them. The foliage was die cut and watercolored. I did add a banner sentiment which wasn't on the sketch.

Much to love here...at first, I thought you used dp, then I thought, 'nope, Sallie wouldn't have done that.' white on kraft with the light coloring is really beautiful.
