Embossed the flowers and leaves in white, sponged on lots of DI, splattered with water and blotted with paper towel, splattered with diluted white acrylic paint (I love this look!), and then finally with shimmer spritz spray for sparkle! Embossed the sentiment on a black cs strip, adhered, and then black sparkly enamel dots (from Your Next Stamp - LOVE them!).
This is what I was hoping for when I thought of the challenge. Lots of heat embossing. I love the bold colors and this is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing with us this week at the Mod Squad Challenge.

This is so gorgeous Maura, loving the beautiful flowers and the Autumnal colouring.Thanks for sharing with us over at 'The Flower Challenge' and we hope to see you again soon ;) Viv DT xx
Very dramatic!! This Altenew set is on my wish list. Love your look. I thought your sentiment might be from PTI, so I checked. As of right now, it is under "Think Big Favorites #16 Mini Stamp Set." I really like it, so it is now added to my wish list as well.
