Congrats, Michelle! I've visited your gallery many times and I always find something I'd like to case. Today, I got the chance I choose Sending You Smiles as my case. I changed the images, the colors slightly, added an image on top and moved the little sentiment to other side. I kept the clean layout and especially, the technique of embossing resist.
On my bg, I stamped the big ginkgo leaf (Fabric Stamps) and the ginkgo leaf trio (ANM) w/ the clear ink and embossed w/ white. Then I sponged the different colors of dye inks all over.
I stamped the dragonflies (Stampabilities) and the word dragonfly (SA) w/ black pigment ink and black embossed. I painted them in using Twinkling H2O paints. I also did a wash over the entire bg w/ iridescent green and red Twinkling H2O's so the everything really sparkles!
The white rectangle was nestiesized and I used the smaller scallop rect. on the azalea piece, except I only embossed w/ the rect., I didn't cut them.
The dragonflies and the word were cut out and layered w/ foam tape. TFL
