This is my submission for Verve's Monday Mojo sketch#81. This was not the easiest for me to do... the tilt kind of ruled out a lot of images that really needed to be straight... but I like how it came out.
I used my new Verve Stamps Set "Everlasting Life". I LOVE this set!!! I thought the flower was a great match for the flower in SU! Rasberry Tart DP. I stamped it in Archival Jet Black and watercolored with ink. Embellishments include Pretty in Pink Ribbon, Primas, and dew drops. The flower and bud are stamped twice, cut out once and popped up for a paper tole effect.

Love it! I've gotta let my set like this see some serious ink over the next two days! Love the way you layered your flower...
