I actually started this for the LSC176 and it wasn't until I was all finished that I realized the whole LSC was to use summer themed stamps! Nothing summer about this... look springy and the sentiment too! LOL! At least I kept to the 3 layers and limit the embellishments.
I used my sewing machine to stitch decorative lines above and below the ribbon. The close up picture is another upload.
The colors I used for each image:
BIRD: creamy caramel, close to cocoa, white gel pen
BUTTERFLY: more mustard, pumpkin pie, really rust, white gel pen
FLOWERS,LEAVES,GRASS: pink pirhouette, cameo coral, puerly pomegranate, old olive, kiwi kiss
POT: sahara sand in the shadows to create a dirty white look
SKY: baja breeze
Ink: brilliance graphite black, SU baja breeze,pink pirhouette,cameo coral,purely pomegranate,sahara sand,kiwi kiss,old olive,more mustard,pumpkin pie,really rust,creamy caramel,close to cocoa
Accessories: white gel pen, white taffeta ribbon, button bouquet baja breeze button,aquapainter waterbrush, sponges,cuttelbug embossing folder,sewing machine and thread,stickles
