Say it with Flowers

Photo Details
Poster: Cook22

 This was made for today's TLC, Embossed Shimmer. I didn't have Lumiere or Pearlex - or re-inkers, but I used silver acrylic paint and alcohol inks - Lettuce, Pesto and Stream. It's so effective that it didn't need much to embellish it. I added some Prima Painterly Petals, with Dew Drops in the centre. The sentiment was stamped with Brilliance Thyme Green onto pearlescent card and punched out with a tag punch. I added some wide organza ribbon edged with gold, and attached the label with thick foam tape along the top, and tucked it under the flowers.
ETA, I just used one of those clear tape runners to attach the acetate - it's one I use with vellum too although it's not specifically designed for it, and it's holding perfectly with a strip along the top and the bottom.
Another ETA to say that I didn't actually spritz the flowers :D, that's the way the Painterly Petals come. All I added was the Dew Drops.
