TLC175

Photo Details

Poster: debdeb

This is a fun technique! I have this gorgeous leaf stamp that I thought would work well. Used all kinds of blues and purples for the background, then reds, oranges, and yellows for the leaves. I didn't want to cover any of the image up, so I just matted over and over again with coordinating colors and beautiful gold shimmer vellum. The only embellishments are a big pomegranate bow, and a gold-edged tag tied on with gold cording. I was aiming for simple elegance....

In the thumbnail, I thought this was in a frame! It sure could be. I love the layers you used. I agree... this image was perfect for this technique.
