This is another piece done with a Polished Stone bg for the Inspiration Challenge, IC50, Store-bought card. Here is the original: Forums at Splitcoaststampers
The bg panel done in Alcohol Inks has several coats of Versamark and Detail Clear EP over it. I stamped the sunflower directly on the panel, then stamped it again on white mulberry paper, and adhered this on the panel with diluted white glue and water. I covered this with more Detail EP, added some details with a brush and craft inks. I put clear Micro-beads in the center, colored them with a copper marker, and then put Crystal Effects on them. The butterfly is done in the Faux Metal technique. The light bg panel is stamped in French Script, and the darker panel behind it is done DTP with Craft Ink Spots. Finally, I added some organdy ribbon, Hodge-Podge Hardware (colored with copper marker) and copper Vintage Brads.
Thanks for looking!

This has a lot of neat texture and color. This isn't quite my style, but this style is wildly popular right now...this really looks like art. Good Job!!

Wowzers, this is so pretty. You can tell how much time it took because of the attention to details of color and texture. Great job on the challenge.
