This is my submission for TLC175, to use Pastels for our background... I used a tissue to rub on Always Artichoke and Regal Rose on Very Vanilla CS. I then inked my bg stamp with VersaMark and embossed in gold. I did the same for the sentiment panel and the larger floral images. I watercolored the floral images with ink and blender pens, then painted with Diamond Glaze followed by Shimmerz. I cut them out and mounted on the sentiment panel.
EDIT: When starting to go through the gallery to make comments I realized I had misread the instructions. (Red face) I thought we just had to do the background... now I see we were to do the bg "as well" as the image... that's what I get for skimming I guess. I humbly admit my boo boo, but it's here and I'm going with it. Have a Dr. appt. but if time I'll do one the right way too! LOL!

Grace this is beautiful just like you. I love all your embossing. I am really bad at that. The sentiment is terrific. Great watercoloring. It is so hard to capture the right color. Thanks for your prayers. It is so appreciated.
