The big panel flowers are stamped in yellow then brushed on orange with a dry aqua painter for contrast, I did the same for the center in cocoa and burgundy and the stems in greens. The ribbon is beige rubbed thru the cocoa ink pad; the ends are taped to the back after I tied the knot.
All edges are sponged in both browns. The stitching is real, the holes are done using an idea Lacyquilter gave me by using the plastic canvas (brad template) as a guide and just use a push tack to perforate the card. Then I sewed with needle and thread and the ends are taped to the back. Thanks Melody, six stitches – I can handle that!
