For today's Inspiration challenge, a darling floral dress. I chose some vintage buttons as an embellishment and wnet from there. The floral background was stamped on white and embossed with clear powder. I sponged the color over and wiped off the excess ink. The sentiment layer is stamped on some retired SU! vellum.

This is very pretty. I love all the clever ways you worked with the supplies - embossing the background and sponging the color over; working with the vellum....it all leads to color peeking through and I think it is comes together wonderfully. Thanks for playing!
